San Francisco
is a gorgeous city; we had the pleasure of doing an over night trip to visit
friends.
Hilly streets are lined with
plush vegetation and flowers of all kinds. Who knew there were palm trees
there?! The weather is nothing to write home about. It rained on and off the
whole day, however the temperature was almost 60 so it wasn’t uncomfortable
just very wet. The next day we were departing the weather was pleasant so it
has its good and bad days. The city is very “green’ and residents seem to have an emphasis
on keeping their surroundings squeaky clean. The air even smelled clean and I
have to say I saw no litter on the ground what so ever. Why can’t all cities be
this beautiful?
Every corner you turn seems
like there is something to see or to do. Public transportation made it easy to get around.
We took The Bart train downtown and maneuvered on buses throughout town.
We shopped at the vintage stores on Haight Street where
I found a killer bag. Union
Square has more commercial shopping stores like
Zara, Old Navy and tons of high end stores.
We had a photo op next to the trolleys which unfortunately
were not running at the time.
Later on in the evening we met up with friends at the Crab House on Pier
39 and had slamming seafood and mini donuts for dessert.
Of course we visited
the Golden Gate Bridge
which I learned was named after the body of water (Golden
Gate) it connects.
You can see most of San Francisco within a day however I would
rather have had a few days to take it all in.
On our next trip to San Francisco we plan on going to Napa Valley
for the wine tasting tours. So San Franciscans’ did I do a good job of summing up your
city? Did I miss anything? Let me know :)
