San Francisco
The best place in San Francisco is the 100 year old, 40 block long
Golden Gate Park. This park has everything from windmills to buffalos.
From art museum to gulf course. From boat rides to giant redwoods. The
park is huge with plenty of free parking. It fits in with the San
Francisco trend of physical fitness. Everybody seems to be jogging or
bicycling. The hills and cliffs provide many hiking trails as well.
The street from the Golden Gate Bridge is Lombard Street. If you stay
on this street it turns into the famous Lombard Street hill, the
world's steepest and crookedest. Even more famous is the cable cars.
Most of the cable car lines are gone, but a few well placed lines take
tourists from downtown to Fisherman's Wharf and up to Lombard Street.
Beyond the cable cars are fake trollies and old fashion trollies SF is
buying from other cities.
Near Fisherman's Wharf on the northside of the city is the National Maritime
Museum. It is one of the best places to see the city, Alcatraz Island, and Golden Gate Bridge.
An old cast iron ship, an old ferry boat, tugboat, and other relics of the
sea are the main features with an indoor museum nearby. One of the cable car
lines comes right down the hill to the museum and Bay. A small park offer
street artists and their ware.
