SF impressions

Historical Muni tram
This was my first ever trip to San Francisco. It is a city I have wanted to visit ever since seeing Charmed on TV. Looking at the skyline of this great city made me want to go there.

I finally got the chance to go to San Francisco in December of 2005 through my work (as usual) and I even got the opportunity to drive from Los Angeles to San Francisco and back. To SF on I-5 and back on the coastal highway 1, the highway of heaven, which was amazing.

Of course, I did everything every body does. Ride the cable cars, take the Muni, drive the golden gate bridge and eat, because the food in SF is great.

I had a hotel on Fisherman's Wharf, it's always nice if you can arrange your travel itinerary yourself. Looking out over the bay, seeing the bay bridge in the morning when you wake up. One of the best views in town.

Luckily I had some days of to see the city as well, for San Francisco a few days is not enough. The city is great, one of the most beautiful cities I've ever visited. The atmosphere, the people, the city and the homeless (too bad).

Pros:"good food, friendly tourists, a lot to see"
Cons:"big difference between rich and pour"
In A Nutshell:"Go off the beaten path, look at all the churches and squares that are there in abundance"
