aJ's trip to San Francisco

Society Travel & Tourism
1

I was in San Jose all last week and as boring as it was, San Francisco was full of life. Among all the big cities of US, including Atlanta, NYC, Chicago, Huston, Dallas etc, I liked San Francisco the most! The weather was nice in the 70s as long as you are not right next to the bay!

Faisal bhai showed me the city the first day but it was too fogy that evening. You will see later in the pics. I went with some of my work friends later in the week and that afternoon a lot better & the pics came out great!

Here are some of them and hopefully the San Francisco natives can tell you a little more about them than me.

The famous Golden Gate Bridge!

This dude was spray painting and there was a huge crowd. We didn't know what was up, until we we went there to see it for ourself. You can see how cold it was, with people wearing sweat shirts & all.

Awesome though, apart from the seals, it looks like you covered all the main spots :slight_smile: Clam chowder is OK, you can taste that when you come next time, Shalimar ofcourse is better :smiley:
