Apparently it doesn't matter if it is August, San Francisco will still make you put on a sweatshirt. It felt weird for things to be that cold at this time of the year. Maybe its because all these windmills are keeping things cool. Also, I liked the look of all the golden hills on my drive in.


Getting to the golden date bridge required getting off the highway and driving through downtown traffic. At least I found some cool looking things on the buildings.


Pictures of some bridge.

These pictures were taken from the other side of the bridge.


Chinatown was rather busy. I found a sign with several lines of Chinese characters, and then just said "John's photo". That may have been a translation error.


Many shops had crazy looking weapons. At first this looked cool, until you see that every shop has the same crazy weapons.


Only 1 shop had these jeweled animals though.


Downtown was full of 5 and 6 way intersections. This made traffic fun.

In fisherman's wharf, ships drove through the streets. It was also absurdly crowded.

But had some nice looking boats.


And a view of Alcatraz. I didn't take a tour there.

Lots of fog that day over the bridge.


San Francisco and the surrounding area seemed fun, but a bit crazy. I kinda want to live here, but it would be a big lifestyle change. No car, only public transportation. I'm still undecided about this city.
