I left about 8:30 AM�EST and then arrived in San Jose yesterday about 1:30 PM�PST. I�am out here for some training (a new DNS/DHCP�solution for those interested, but most people outside IT, just glaze over when I�talk about my job.)

We got our rental (a Buick Lucerne which is amazing smooth and quiet) and checked in at our "hotel" -- which is really a motel, but is in fact, very nice, with a widescreen HD�TV and a very comfortable king sized bed. We immediately headed into San Francisco, about 40 minutes away.

We were starving, since the 6 hour flight from Chicago has no meal service, just some peanuts, and rushed to a great dinner at the Franciscan, right down on Embarcadero with a great view of the Bay. I�had crab chowder in a sourdough breadbowl, sauteed asparagus, and some garlicky shrimp. We were worried about time, but this turned out to be misplaced, as the service was quite speedy.

We then walked to where the ferry for our night tour of Alcatraz would depart, and boarded.

The tour of Alcatraz was really something. It is a truly unique place, and would recommend to anyone to visit if they were in the area. And the view of Bay Area from Alcatraz is quite impressive. There is an audio tour of the cellhouse and some other presentations on Capone, Escapes, and a few other topics.

We got back to the hotel about 10 local time, at which time I�completely crashed, after an eventful, yet tiring, 23 hour day.
