I have finally returned to Boston. The first thing that greeted me at the airport is the crappy cold and overcast weather. This is the sixth weekend in a row where the weather in Boston is either raining or overcast. No wonder people in Boston (me included) are cold and grouchy. I really miss San Francisco and sunny California. The crappy weather only makes me more motivated to moving to San Francisco. For now, I will blog in reminiscence of my trip to San Francisco.

Day 8 (Amoeba Records and Star Wars)
The day went by as chronicled in my previous blog. Since everyone that I knew in San Francisco was busy with family, seen the movie, or has other engagements, I saw Star Wars - Revenge of the Sith by myself. Possible Star Wars sequels notwithstanding, I feel relieved as the Star Wars saga is finally complete with this movie release. It is definitely the better of the first 2 Star Wars prequels and the special effects in my opinion are one of the best I have seen. However, solely relying on special effects and the Star Wars franchise do not make this movie a great movie. The acting, directing, and story did not match those of the original Star Wars episode. The plot, in my opinion, is weak and unconvincing. The transformation of Anakin Skywalker to Darth Vader, the establishment of the Empire, and the demise of the Jedi Knights could have developed and expressed better in the movie. Despite the flaws, this is still a movie to watch.

Day 9 (Hiking in Marin County)
This is the day I depart San Francisco. Before my departure, I went hiking with Chris and his brother, Adam at the Marin County Park, which is north of the Golden Gate Bridge. We hiked across a hill before settling down at English operated bed-and-breakfast, Pelican Inn, for some Bangers and Marsh, and some good English beer. After the hike I took a power nap at Brian's apartment before I finally left San Francisco on a red-eye flight to Boston.
