San Francisco here I come!

by american_tourister - last update: Jul 3, 2003

With beauty comes great expense

Just another day at work.
The most cosmopolitan city on the West Coast. San Francisco is romantic, soothing, exciting, wrathful, fearful, peaceful, intense, vacuous, meaningful, and full of kitsch all at once. It is one of my favorite cities to explore. I find something new every time.

It is also horribly expensive to visit and to live in. It is much better to seek lodging in one of the surrounding cities and make day trips into town than it is to stay there.

Pros:"Gorgeous, vibrant, exciting"
Cons:"Vagrants, expensive, crowded"
In A Nutshell:"The best and worst that California has to offer"
