Diamond Heights in San Francisco somewhere on a stairway is this snake enjoying the sun… or just waiting for us. I don’t know. I have no idea if this snake is dangerous or not. I just thought let’s take a picture as close as possible. I’ve never seen a snake outside a zoo or animal store. Oh not true. I had this neighbor in Munich who actually walked his snake in our neighborhood. It was a boa. 2 or 3 meters long. He fed it with small rabbits. Wondering if his boa is still alive. And also wondering if it’s allowed to have a boa at home. 20 years ago nobody cared.

Taking the bus in San Francisco is easy. There is a bus stop at every intersection. All you need is 1.50$ and time.
Sometimes you can spend 20 minutes waiting at a bus stop. You check the http://www.nextbus.com page every minute, you move with the sun to the edge of the sidewalk, you think about hot coffee. You get cold, because there is always somehow an icy wind when you wait at a bus stop.
But when you finally made it onto the bus it’s pure pleasure.
Uphill, downhill and beautiful views of the city.
