San Francisco is the fourth most populous city in California and the fourteenth-most populous in the United States, with a 2006 estimated population of 744,041. Personally I also think it is one of the most beautiful city in the world. Every time I visit SFO, it offers something new and something different. This is great city to stroll around and enjoy one of the best sea food in the world, especially sushi (if you like fish that is).
Mark Twain once said: "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.", so true. It can get really very cold in the city even with a very high temperature just south of the city. Never ever be without a jacket in the city.
One of the best places to hang out in the city is probably Pier 39, very nice shops, great sunset view of Alcatraz and Golden Gate bridge. You can spot many people showing their music and arts talent in terms of live bands playing (not the greatest ones but they are still good), and some street shows to entertain you. You should definitely take the cruise ride which starts from Pier 39 and goes under the Golden Gate bridge and around the Alcatraz.
Another place to see would be the Presidio of San Francisco and across the Golden Gate bridge Golden Gate National Recreational Area. From the Golden Gate National Recreational Area, you can see unimaginably beautiful views of the bay and the city.
Here are some pictures of the city I took sometime back:
Beautiful pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge. And a very nice blog!
