I've started my roundtrip through the western part of the USA in San Francisco. I stayed here for a couple of days before I went on. I am not a real city person but San Francisco has stolen my heart!

    San Francisco is one of my favorite US cities. Oh, and Fishermans Wharf is by no means a trap. You can dine on the best crab legs here at reasonable prices.

    Brings back memories. I used to live just across the bay in Berkeley, where I worked for a radio station. We often did live broadcasts from Alcatraz Island while the Native American protesters were there.

    Sim, I really enjoyed reading some of your Cali pages! I was born in Oakland & it was fun reading about places familiar to me thru your eyes. BTW, my great-aunt was one of the Native Americans at Alcatraz in the '60s; I'm part Oglala Sioux. :)

    Hello from San Francisco. Excellent review of the city. Your Alcatraz info helped me to know why people enjoy going there. I never have tho' I've lived here many years. Your whole site is outstanding.

    You know Simone, I never did see how you started your Round Trip USA! Great page on SF, especially the Alcatraz and Cablecar tips! I really love this city too.

    Nice highlights of SF and a lot of enthusiasm for this place! The cable cars and sloped streets are my first association with this city, a ride will be a must for me one day! Glad you liked my Bucharest page :-)

    I lived in San Francisco many, many, many, many years ago, and haven't been back since. Your page reminds me how beautiful it is and makes me want to visit.
