San Francisco

We made it down to San Francisco after a looooong car trip from Tacoma, at least we got to see the scenery! We drove first on hw 101, for then to switch over to I-5 after we figured out it was going to take forever before we reached SF. We got to SF around 9 in the morning yesterday. It was pretty long lines to get into the city, and confusing driving around. Guess it is a good thing I have been driving a little bit around in Seattle;)
The hotel is really nice, nice rooms and good service so far. Really good location, right next to Union Square, which is the best place for shopping, clubbing, art and theater as well!

Yesterday, we basically just walked around getting to know the area, found a lot of shops where I would like to buy everything, but I don't think that is the best idea, since we still have some days left on the trip :p
Today was the day when we did some sightseeing. We took a tour bus early in the day that took us around so we could see the places that people are talking about. We drove through China Town, Business District, came down to the waterfront where we could see Alcatraz, which was a prison before but now is a tour on the island instead. We also spent a great time by the Fisherman Wharf, where we also could see the island, but also it was a lot of shops-souvenir mostly and restaurants. We saw some seals laying on fleets where they were bathing in the sun while we were freezing because the wind was very strong so the sun did not help a lot. We even got to see the rest of the CL game where Barcelona won!! on the Buba Gump restaurant;) After that we got on the tour bus to see the Golden Gate Bridge. It was really windy driving over the bridge, and we could not see the top of it because it was foggy. It was still cool though;) After that we continued to the Golden Gate Park for then to continue through the Victorian Homes. Some of the houses we could see is the ones that is displayed in TV shows and movies with the SF skyline in the back.

After we got back from the sightseeing we took the cable cars which is another trademark of SF. It was really cool, up and down all the step hills. It took us from Union Square and down to the waterfront near by Fisherman Wharf, so we got a nice view of Alcatraz again and the ocean. To bad it was still foggy, it was still hard to see the bridge. Tonight we are going to one of the clubs called Ruby Sky. Apparently it is one of the best ones, and we happen to live 1 block away from it;)

Tomorrow we are heading for LA. Leaving early and then we will see what happens!

I´ll post pictures and videos later, when it works;)
