Exploring San Francisco or “The Frisco”

After Alcatraz, the fog somewhat cleared, and we were able to visit Pier 39, Fisherman’s Wharf, the trolleys, Ghirardelli Square, Lombard Street, Chinatown, etc. in San Fran, but we still could not see the Golden Gate Bridge… too much fog.

As a whole, San Francisco is truly a beautiful city. There is plenty to do, but I would never want to live there… It’s just too big, and the real estate has got to be out of control. The houses are itty-bitty and squooshed right next to each other, yet each of them has easily got to be about $1 million.

Overall, we had a great time. It would have been nice if it wasn’t as foggy, but I can’t complain. We experienced San Fran, and we got to stay at a sweeeeet hotel (the Embassy Suites) before doing it all over again the next day.
