San Francisco

San Francisco-Day 1

San Francisco has been named after Saint Francis. This place is located at a prestigious location next to the Pacific Ocean. This place is blend of busyness and fun. The streets and Boulevards are as enjoyable as as a roller coaster ride. At a point, the road gets so steep that the car is apparently vertically stick to the road.  

The road you see on the right is Lombard Street. Generally they call it The Crooked Street of SF. Obvious, isn't it? Taking a video on this street is an INSTA-TREND. The top of this street gives a beautiful view of the bay, however the camera cannot hide the electric wires photo-bombing in front of the beautiful landscape, but we can always use our inbuilt camera to enjoy the view (our eyes 😏).

This picture above, is the view from above the street. I was successful in cheating the dangling wires.

This is Pier 39. Cool breeze of the Pacific never fails to take our breath away. We can take a fun boat ride to see some Sea Lions enjoying with their buddies, but usually they just lay there, exhibiting their inherent character. We can see the Bay bridge on one side and the Golden Gate Bridge on the other. Golden Gate Bridge is often covered with fog or smog giving us, amateur photographers, a hard time. 
 There are various restaurants and cafes. We were lucky ho have these delicious donuts, not only that, but we also got a chance to see how they make it. There are huge gift shops with "I Love San Francisco" customized articles. I was amazed to see a shop specially selling the products for leftys.

  Then further, there is China Town where all the Chinese products are up for sale and there are Chinese Restaurants with Noodles and dumplings. There are huge statues and instruments showcased in the shops. This is Mini-China indeed.

Starbucks proves every time that Coffee is always a good idea. 

There is Union Square with all the skyscrapers and Art festivals. There are parks with artists playing with colors and the church bells producing the melodies.

 The triangular shaped building is Trans American Tower.

There is a cable car that goes around the streets which is usually full of tourists killing it's basic usage for transportation to the locals for the day to day up-down commute. This place is difficult to travel on feet. People finding pleasure in driving, can get all the adventure in this paradise. This is the right place to test the driving skills. This lively location made our visit fun-filled and unforgettable. Further our trip continued...
