TRIP TO SAN FRANCISCO FROM 24TH TO 27TH OCTOBER 2008

We were flying from east to west of USA!

After a long flight ( 7 hours include 1 hr in transit ) from Tampa to San Francisco of California, it was almost 11 pm when we checked in the hotel.


The next morning, we went visiting various places; Aquarium of the Bay, Fisherman's Wharf/Pier 39, China Town and Trolley Ride. It was interesting to take cable car ride up and down the steep hill in the city as well as driving down the zip-zap road by car at Lombard Street.










The weather was cold when we reached the Golden Gate Bridge on the 2nd day. We were unable to see the whole bridge as it was very foggy. Hence, none of us was able to capture a good snap of the bridge. In the afternoon we went back to the bridge again ; the weather was still bad!

On the whole, San Francisco is an unique city to visit . There are lots of charming attractions and places to explore. We can see performers on the street. Tourists all over the world are crowed along the bay and the boardwalk. At pier 39, there are more than 100 of sea lions live in Dock K. They are huge, playful and nosiy.

Ha ha ha, that's a combination of various seafoods plus pasta. Tomato base seafood stew with fresh fish, mussels, clams, shrimp and crab. It was very delicious. I believe there must be some herbs in it.
