San Francisco

I have just returned from my holiday in sunny California. I was only home for one week, but I had a fabulous time. Getting out of New York was a nightmare, I learned my lesson to never fly on Christmas Eve again. Our flight out of Laguardia was cancelled, however we were able to get a flight out of Newark which meant spending 8 endless hours in the airport.

I took a road trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco with Anibal and my dad Steve:)

San Francisco is definitely among my favorite places in the world. On a clear day(like the day we arrived), the scenery is simply breathtaking. The people are well educated. The food is delicious. What is there not to love? San Francisco is different enough from Los Angeles to be refreshing for me, but wonky enough to be familiar. It was Ani's first time in San Francisco, so the first thing we did upon our arrival was go straight to the Golden Gate Bridge.

Next it was cable cars and Dungeness crab.

Then to The Buena Vista for a fine Irish coffee.

Back at the hotel to catch some zzz's.

We had breakfast at this Greek diner called the Olympic Flame.

                                                     The fog lifting from the bridge.

Look who escaped from Alcatraz.

We only had a short time in San Francisco, so we kept it super touristy. The weather was spectacular. How could you not take a thousand photos in front of the Golden Gate Bridge?
