Four seasons in one day...

That is what happens if you go to San Francisco, for a day of playing the game: I am a tourist... But it was great and I will go back very soon. Everything we could visit and do in one day, has been done, with getting the full San Francisco weather on top. Maybe not long enough, but that gives me a good reason to go back, soon. Riding the famous Cable Car, by boat to see the Golden Gate and Alcatraz from up close, Fisherman's Wharf, China Town, Lombard Street (famous from a few movies, we walked from the bottom to the top...) and Russian Hill to name a few! First night dinner in, I may say, the best Supper Club in town, Bix. Hard to find, it is in a small alley on the foot of the Transamercian Pyramid. Great food, brilliant service and excellent life jazz music!!! You could wonder back to the early 1900....

My next visit will be longer, to spend some more time there...you gotta feel the vibe, man!
The first picture is a detail from the Argonaut Hotel at Fisherman's Wharf, highly recommended.... Second is taken from standing at the entrance of the Transamerican, a landmark which you can see from every angle in the city. The Golden Gate does not really need an introduction I think... Last picture is taken from the top of Lombard street, just to show off how steep it is to walk up the hill:)
