- I live near San Francisco Intl. Airport (SFO); here are some ideas...
-
- * Monterey Bay Aquarium/coastal parks
-
- The 'Moon Jellies' alone are worthe the trip. The coastal
- rocks have zillions of interesting critters living on them.
- (An upweling allows some 90% of the species found on the
- Pacific coast to be represented there.)
-
- * Big Basin/Hwy. 35/Tunitas Creek Rd.
-
- If you like trees, here's where you can find them.
-
- * SF/Cable Cars/Car Barn/Exploratorium/Golden Gate Park
-
- The Cable Car Barn is a cross between a museum and the guts
- of the cable car system. worth visiting for hackers.
-
- The Exploratorium is a funky, wonderful collection of science
- toys that you're *encouraged* to play with. It also has a
- really nifty store full of science goodies.
-
- The park has scads of museums, trees, etc. Also nice places
- to kick back and relax.
-
- * Foothill College Electronics Museum/Surplus stores
-
- The museum has lots of nifty old electronics cruft. The local
- surplus stores do, too, though not so old, and for sale. There
- are around two dozen (!) electronic surplus stores in the area.
-
- * Golden Gate National Recreation Area, etc.
-
- Numerous large parks, hiking trails, etc.
-
- Gotta go now - hope this helps...
