The week that is..or was...

It's been a fun week so far.
On Saturday, I spent the day with my buddy Eric and his son Erik. We went to Fry's in Walnut Creek to do a little shopping, and on the way home, we took the scenic route.




We ended up driving through some interesting towns along the Carquinez Strait. First, we stopped in Port Costa, which was this little old town with old Western-style bar.


Then stopped off at a pier in Eckley. Some random kids were fishing on the pier. You can see the Carquinez Bridge from the pier, and every few minutes, the Amtrak train will come rumbling by.


Next, we drove down to Crockett to the C&H Sugar Factory. The train tracks run by the factory and there were a bunch of old train cars just sitting on the track. It looked like they hadn't been used in a while.



On Monday, we found out that our Editorial Cartoonist Mark Fiore had won a Pulitzer Prize for his animated political cartoons. Late in the afternoon, we found out that there would be a mini press conference in our office. CBS sent a team to record it for the evening news. As you can see, a lot of the Chronicle staff showed up for the event.



Yesterday, myself and fellow SFGate intern Chloe Roth ventured up to the roof of the Chronicle building. She had been sitting all day and needed to stretch. She proceeded to do some yoga. I happened to have my camera.
