Tourists love San Francisco: Eclectic architecture, diverse population, Alcatraz, Lombard Street, Fisherman’s Wharf, etc.

They love the restaurants and shops.

I was underwhelmed. This is not the destination for me.

I was let down, having had some vague idea I would visit the Googleplex, or Apple HQ — like they have nothing better to do than tour me around.

Though I had my bread bowl of chowder, I managed to miss the chance to ride a bike over the Golden Gate Bridge.
