San Francisco

San Francisco's skyline - seen from Alcatraz
This city is really gifted by its gorgeous location. Sitting on steep hills on the tip of a peninsula surrounded py the Pacific Ocean, the Bay and the Golden Gate waterway it is no wonder that this city is the dream of so many travellers and a perfect location for film directors as well.
Isn't this a noble neighbourhood?
Because of the mild climate it is also a nice place to live although it can be a bit foggy sometimes. This picture is taken at the Golden Gate Waterfront near the Bridge. There are a lot of nice houses like this.

San Francisco's citizens are well known for an openminded spirit - so if I had to choose a place to live in the US I would go for San Francisco.
There are also a lot of possibilities for recreational activities - in particular watersport. And if you dont have the financial means to sail on such a boat ... it's also fun to watch them while sunbathing on the beach or having a picnic near the Golden Gate Bridge.

Pros:"Ask yourself - why do film directors love this town?"
Cons:"Sometimes the climate can be a bit foggy"
In A Nutshell:"A must on every travellers wish list"

 Bernd, how is life in Egg-Leo these days? Nice little page here; I would love to use the famous cable cars one day ...the Golden Gate Bridge looks very similar to the Ponte 25 de Abril in Lisbon.

 Great page! I used to live in CA and San Francisco is one of my favorite cities! Unfortunately, it's expensive to live there... See ya at the meeting - and yes, Karlsruhe is full of surprises, too :-)
