Not so sunny California

"They say it never rains in Southern California", as the song goes. But it did drizzle a bit today, and the clouds remained grey.
My latest hostel is located right in the heart of historic Fort Mason, with views of the Golden Gate from the window by my bed. And it is a bed not a bunk - meaning that the dorm has a lot more space per person.
The train journey down was fun during the day, chatting to fellow passengers - but no matter how far a reclining seat reclines, it's not a bed, so it was a long night. Fortunately I was able to get a nice siesta this afternoon and catch up.
This morning I did what I seem to do everywhere when I first arrive - take a walk along the waterfront. I'm not sure how I'll adjust in Las Vegas - the first city I will hit that isn't on an ocean or a mighty river or a great lake.
I'll update again when I have seen a bit more of the city - and hopefully when I have a sunny photo to include.
I also did a big shop at Safeway today (Safeway is big in the US and Canada) so now I'm going to cook.
