Fake Tales of San Francisco.

After my first trip to San Francisco two years ago, I could understand why Tony Bennett loved this city so much, hence why he sang that famous song. It is so full of culture and splendor, it is definitely my favorite city on the west coast, far surpassing Los Angeles. When I went to California again earlier this summer, I pleaded with my family to revisit the bay city. And with enough determination, we finally cleared a day to drive to the wonderful city.

It's amazing how San Francisco is so much different than other California cities. Although San Francisco does have similar rolling hills as the rest of the Silicon Valley, the weather was so completely different one the day that we went than in San José. On our drive to the city, we encountered weather like this:


Nice, sunny, blazing hot! But then as we wandered into the city, things took a 'cooler' turn.


Windy, gloomy, and-- to California standards-- COLD! I was fine, but every one of my family members were complaining and nagging. Some of my aunts even stayed in the car as we took pictures outside. I personally liked the weather. I was exhausted of the deathly heat wave, and getting a strong breeze was a nice change. I'm used to cold weather, after all, I am familiar with running around in a tshirt in 40 degree weather. Anyways, the coldness didn't damper my spirits, for the view of the Golden Gate Bridge was stunning and majestic in its classic glory.



To warm up, we went to this seafood restaurant in Fisherman's Wharf. I was so happy, for this was the reason why I really wanted to return to San Francisco:

Clam Chowder served in a bread bowl! I was super excited to be able to relish in its fine taste, and as well as chowder, I order a nice plate of fried calamari.


My day in San Francisco was fabulous, and I'm sorry that this post is a couple of weeks late. :P I highly recommend checking out this city if you ever have the chance!
