We woke up today to an amazing start with a great breakfast!
The sun was shining, the air was warm, and there was no fog over the bay – all things unusual for San Francisco…so we knew it was going to be a wonderful day.
First stop – Pier 39 to meet the famous sea lions, who were enjoying the sun as much as we were!
Then we walked along Fisherman’s Wharf to start our adventure across the city on a cable car. The cable car ride was a great way to get to around and offered a great view of the entire city. And a way we have never traveled before!
We ended up in Union Square – one of the city’s central shopping districts! Some of us had Thai food, others continued our crazy shopping sprees – it was a challenge to get as much stuff done as possible!
Next was time to continue our city tour with a local expert, our tour guide. We stopped at City Hall to take some pictures, then headed to Alamo Square where we saw beautiful San Franciscan style houses against a backdrop of the entire city! It was so cute.
We headed to the deYoung Art Museum to explore some amazing art pieces of the Americas. We saw cool paintings and sculptures – including a nice outside garden with a beautiful fountain. We made a lot of wishes because, why not?!
After the museum, we headed to the famous Lombard Street, known as the curviest street in the world! Here was beautiful, like city and nature combined. We walked down the street and had another great view of the Bay from here.
Our last stop for the day was Chinatown! We stopped at a fortune cookie factory, and had some free time to shop. Although our friend from China said it didn’t look much like China, it was interesting to explore. We walked to the big gate at the entrance of this neighborhood and then headed to a restaurant for dinner.
Our dinner in Chinatown was fun, with so much food – but really good and fun to try something new!
It was great to explore a new fabulous city today and although we are sad tomorrow is our last day – we know it will be a great one!
