Chinatown Gate

Start at the Chinatown Gate. I've been to many Chinese places in the world - San Francisco's Chinatown is uniquely Chinese with an American flavor.

Up close

I like sunsets. Bridges too. The Golden Gate Bridge is fascinating. I used to think the bridge was gold. It's red, and Golden Gate refers to the mouth of San Francisco Bay which the bridge spans.

Driving through

You've looked at it, came up close, so why not drive across it. From San Francisco, you'll be on your way north through Marin County.

Sea Lions

Walk down to the very end of Pier 39 and follow the sound. And the smell. Sea lions chilling out. What a sight. Good for a photo, then leave! The novelty wears off fast. :o)
