City of Interesting Diversity

Been meaning to start this page for ages as San Francisco is just about my favourite city in the U.S.A. Chicago, New York, Boston & Seattle are the other cities I really like, but San Francisco has something special going for it.

Another Golden Gate Photo

Over 5 different occasions in San Francisco we have been over the magnificent Golden Gate Bridge mofre than once each time.
Along with the Sydney Harbour Bridge my favourite bridge. But you can't compare the two. They are very different, but each equally spectacular intheir own indiviual ways.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Magical City, Beautiful Bay and Bridge
  • Cons:Sleazy side with homeless, beggars & prostitutes is clearly visible
  • In a nutshell:Don't care about its cons - love this city!

    The bike ride to Sausalito is always a favorite! This weekend the Tour of California will see world class cyclists crossing the Bridge; led by Lance himself!

    Being only 45 minutes from SF, I sometimes forget what an awesome place the City is. It's quite nice to be reminded. :)

    San Francisco is also my favorite US city. The Golden Gate Bridge is equally fascinating completely in the sun or with mi-sun mid haze.

    Great photo of the Golden Gate Bridge. I agree with you, San Francisco is one of the most wonderful cities.
