SFO Crooked Street near Lombard street. Often billed as the "crookedest street," San Francisco's Lombard Street is, in fact, neither the crookedest nor the steepest street in the city, let alone the world.

SFO Park

The famous fisherman wharf. Want to know how popular the fisherman wharf, click here.

Buena Vista, Irish Restaurant. with Irish coffee, best! The Buena Vista is a San Francisco establishment that is a "must see" for anyone who likes Irish Coffees. Though it is debated, the Buena Vista is the likely entry point for Irish Coffee into the United States in the early 50's

Pier 39, Pier 39 claims to be the United States' third-most-popular tourist attraction, after the Disney theme parks. A former commercial pier, it appeals mostly to shoppers and souvenir-seekers, but everyone enjoys the sea lions in the marina next door :)

The lazy sea lion. They fight each other, so funny :)

Pier 39 entry

Financial District, SFO

The Exploratorium is a modern, hands-on science museum housed in The Palace of Fine Arts, a Roman-style remainder of the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. The outdoor rotunda and its lagoon are some of the most-photographed San Francisco sights.

Golden Gate Bridge with ME ! So pretty ya. Very cold, oh no.....
The panorama of Golden Gate Bridge, so nice :) The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the opening of the San Francisco Bay into the Pacific Ocean. As part of both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1, it connects the city of San Francisco on the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula to Marin County. The Golden Gate Bridge was the longest suspension bridge span in the world when it was completed during the year 1937, and has become one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco, California, and of the United States.

The clear golden gate bridge and me !

Lovely couple with the Golden Gate Bridge

Golden Gate Park is the city's largest park. One of the most popular attractions in the park is the Japanese Tea Garden, but there's plenty more to see here, including the San Francisco Botanical Garden, California Academy of Sciences and Conservatory of Flowers.
