… aber wo keine Haare sind passt auch keine Blume hin :)

Ich habe San Francisco sehr genossen. Eine Moto-Tour der steilsten Strassen, geschaut wie böse Jungs früher gelebt haben, das Nachtleben etwas erkundet und einfach nur die Atmosphäre genossen! Aber seht selbst…

… but where’s no hair there goes no flower :)

I enjoyed the city a lot. A motorcycle tour through the steepest roads of SF, checked out how bad boys used to live, enjoyed some of the nightlife and just enjoyed the atmosphere of the city. Have a look…
