Girardelli was always an oddity.
I mean, Luxembourg doesn't even have any Alps! But then he was actually an Austrian. Oh, and there's no h in the name. -- Christian R. Conrad The Man Who Apparently Still Knows Fucking Everything Mail: Same username as at the top left of this post, at iki.fi |

Heh.
When I visited a few years ago, I didn't know about Ghirardelli at all, I came across it almost by accident walking over Russian Hill (yes, I walked from Market St). Quite a good introduction to the Fisherman's Wharf area. Wade. |
