HRC Lake Tahoe

After long drive in the mountain area, I finally arrived to Lake Tahoe that had been one of the famous resort area.
I found the sign of HRC at the building that had Casino & Hotel inside.


It was late night(around 0;00AM), so I checked in the motel near HRC, and walked into the building.


I hardly saw people inside because it was out of holiday season here, and then I found HRC Lake Tahoe.

This cafe looked very unique with Lodge style that I really liked. I was so tired after doing long drive through mountain, so I returned to the motel, and took enough rest for next day. At next day, I could see the beautiful view of Lake Tahoe. I could refresh my mind, and went back to SFC.

HRC Sacramento

After SFC, I visited Sacramento only for HRC.

I had to leave here for Lake Tahoe soon, so I just bought some pins, and took photos. I hardly saw people in downtown of Sacramento at that time, but I was surprised that there were so many people inside HRC. I felt the popularity of HRC there.

HRC San Francisco (2nd cafe at Pier 39)

On the way back from Mexico, I arrived to San Francisco. Before this, I visited SFC twice, but I had never visited the former HRC San Francisco.

I rent a car at SFC airport, and went to Pier 39. I finally visited HRC San Francisco that had been reopen at the Pier 39.

This location was one of the best in my Hard Rock Life. HRC was just located at the entrance gate of famous tourist area "Pier 39", so there were so many tourists inside this cafe.
Instead of that good location, this HRC itself was one of the worst in my Hard Rock Life. I just didn't like the interior as well as the appearance. I got some pins, and ate fish&chips at other restaurant.
And then I left there for next HRC.

HRC Guadalajara

After I had great time in Morelia where was the city of the world heritage, I got on the bus for Guadalajara.


Guadalajara was very huge like Mexico City. I stayed at a hotel in downtown, and enjoyed sightseeing, and shopping.

HRC Guadalajara was located inside the shopping mall.

I had to go there by taxi. Even though they had some of good pins, I saw nothing special here, so I just had some drinks, and then enjoyed shopping in the mall.


After Guadalajara, I went to Guanajuato that was also the city of the world heritage. Guanajuato was the best of cities where I had visited in Mexico. The view from the famous hill was just unbelievable !!

HRC Mexico City

In 2002, I made another trip in Oct. I planed to visit 5 HRCs of Mexico & USA. I arrived to Mexico City. Mexico City was so huge !!

There were so many people wherever I went, and the mood of the city was really wild. I enjoyed shopping as well as sightseeing.


While I was there, I made one day trip to Pyramid that was located in suburb of the city.

Teotihuacan
The pyramid was one of the biggest thing people made. It was hard to go to the top, but the view from there was unbelievable.

Of course, I visited HRC Mexico.

HRC Mexico City

A staff of HRC Mexico was my friend whom I had done many trades with.
At HRC Mexico, I met him, and had dinner together, He gave me Camel pins that was only given to HRC staffs before.


And then we talked about many things, and had good time with great music.


About pins, it was one of the best in my Hard Rock Life.
There were so many pins I liked !!

HRC Los Angeles

After HRC Newport Beach, I went to huge shopping mall in the suburb of LA. I enjoyed movies as well as shopping. Unfortunately, it was at 10:00 PM after the movie. I was surprised, and confused what I was going to do then.

There were 2 more HRCs around LA. I had 2 choices then. Going to HRC LA or HRC Hollywood. I selected HRC Los Angeles. HRC Los Angeles is one of the historical HRC like HRC London. I always wanted to visit the first HRC in USA.

I drove my car, and arrived HRC LA before the cafe was closed. I took some photos inside, and bought some pins as I always do. In USA, the history of HRC was born here. I had good day, and stayed at a motel in Hollywood area, and then I left USA for Japan early morning.

HRC Newport Beach

After I visited HRC San Diego, I went to HRC Newport Beach.



On the way to HRC Newport, I lost my way around there, and wasted time.
Finally, I found the huge sign of HRC, and took some photos inside, and bought some pins for my friends. I really had no time to take a rest here, and left here for LA.

HRC San Diego

After HRC La Jolla, I check in the motel near San Diego, and then went to downtown of San Diego.
It was on Saturday, so there were so many people. It took about 30 minuteds to park my car !

HRC San Diego

I had dinner at HRC San Diego, and enjoyed the mood of HRC.
I was very tired after round trip to Death Valley. I can not believe that there were so many HRCs around one state!!

HRC La Jolla

In 2002, I visited USA again for 5 days. I planed to visit HRC around LA though my main target was Death Valley .

After I went to Death Valley by car, I returned to California, and then I visited HRC La Jolla.

HRC La Jolla

HRC La Jolla was located along nice street where many stores & restaurants attracted people. I took some photos inside, and bought some pins there. After that I left there for next HRC(in San Diego).
