I decided that I should see a bit of the USA before I move on somewhere else and San Francisco was one of the places that I wanted to see. I was told many years ago that old deuce bags call it the Bay.
Mostly a touristy trip to Fisherman's wharf (very touristy), Alcatraz and Haight Ashbury. There is a great vibe to the city with lots to do and a great place just to walk around. I stayed in China Town which I think is the largest in N. America. No sports events but the Giants were in town playing.
A very windy city and now I am so wimpy with the cold I found it freezing. And this was California. Not sure I could handle another Canadian winter anymore.
As you would expect, there are great restaurants and a certain charm to the place. Glad I went for a few days.
