San Francisco
A true California gem

---

I was really hesitant when I found out I would be spending a week in San Francisco. All I knew was the iconic images you see on post cards and broadcasted on Full House. Much to my surprise I ended up loving the city! It is the perfect mixture of big city, small town, coastal culture, and artsy people.

Throughout the time I was there I defiantly loved the numbered piers and Fishermans wharf part of the city the best! Fresh caught fish and large boats line the coast of the city. Trying a great seafood place is a must when in San Fran. There are tons of great restaurants in the city, but if you are looking for a more secluded, quiet, on-the-water type restaurant I would venture across the Golden Gate bridge to Sausalito.

One of my favorite memories was venturing to the roof of an apartment complex to see the Blue Angles (military fighter jets) fly over the city. Another was exploring little Italy, and getting to experience amazing food and culture that lives in the streets and ally ways of the city.

China Town is, (hesitant pause) interesting. Although it is neat, it was not for me! The food and tea gardens were excellent but the more you delve into China Town the more you start to see the 'real' China Town. Filled with exotic food markets and street venders, CT would not be on my list for families or young travelers, but, I do have to say, if you go there go to the Fortune Cookie Ally, and make your own fortune cookie!
