On A San Francisco High

by poetjo - last update: Jan 29, 2008

As The Chocolate Melts

Ghirardelli Square - View From Aquatic Park
I've lived in San Francisco all my life and consider Ghirardelli Square to be my home away from home. There's nothing like a cold, foggy morning sitting out at the square with a deliciously rich hot chocolate to warm the soul and just savoring the local flavor. Simply fantastic!
The DeYoung Museum

The DeYoung Museum

The DeYoung just celebrated its Grand Reopening last October and it was a free for all for the entire weekend. Located within Golden Gate Park the structure is very modern and well balanced. The inside I have to say is like a maze. It's huge with art from around the world. No matter your taste there is something here for everyone. I also attended a poetry reading and Egyptian Dance performance in the Koret Theatre which is located within the museum. Great Acoustics and seating there. It's definitely worth going to see.
The Golden Gate Bridge

The #1 Spot in San Francisco

It would always amaze me when I'd see toursits from all over the world seeing the Golden Gate Bridge for the first time. They would just be in awe. Living here all my life I must say that I've taken it for granted until one day I decided to get out there and take photos for my website. I was simply stunned by it's beauty. The sheer magnificence of its architecture and location is really something to experience. I now know exactly how all those toursts feel when they see it for the first time.
