see my city depicted via a painted heart, a true San Francisco original.
a famous landmark, an entry point for every vessel that is bound for the port of SF and Oakland. It is really rust colored and has pedestrian walkway on one side and a bike lane on the other sice. On the northern end is part of the county of Marin. The SF bay is beautiful from this vantage point high above the hills in the Presidio.
Another San Francisco landmark that survived the 1906 earthquake (and the succeeding ones) still serves as "the ferry building" where one can board one of the ferry services to Vallejo. The interior is now a spiffed up commercial enclave of culinary delights. Since it is right on the water along the Embarcadero, it naturally attracts local and tourists alike. I go there for the Saturday Farmers' market and for the superb Vienamese cuisine at Slanted Door. Sur de Table is another source of delight for the home chef. You can't miss it when you are visting SF. Very easy to get to, via one of those respored trams of the modern railway service that runs along the Embarcadero.
- Pros:very "European feel" has seven hills flanked by the bay and ocean, clean air
- Cons:the fog in the summertime, the homeless problem visible in some parts of town
- In a nutshell:never miss this city when you are traveling to the west coast USA

Again, I stumble onto your pages... nice! Are you off to Turkey again soon? I'll be in Spain for ~11 months, rough life I know...
I liked very much your intro page about SF, it seems lke a great city and doing some research before I travel in late February. Thanks for the advice found here.
In 6 visits to the US have not missed visting my fave city San Francisco once. Will always visit this wonderful city on a visit to the US. Love your intro & interesting tips so please tell us more Alicia. Cheers from downunder.
Have begun researching for our upcoming trip to SF, hope you will have more info and pics.
San Francisco is indeed a gorgeous city. My 3 days last April were way to short. I guess I have to return again and see the rest of it. You are very lucky to live there.
Pink sounds cool! Looking forward to more tips... Cheers, G.
Apres a formal ball at City Hall.... perhaps NYE? I was there. :-)
