Visiting San Francisco

San Francisco is one of the most visited city in California. It boast of many tourist attraction such as the ever famous Golden Gate Bridge, Fishermans' Warf, Piers, Fine arts Museum and Alcatraz to name a few.

It a very tourist friendly city. Going around the area is really easy and most places are accessible via the electric bus, train or cable car.

The Golden Gate Bridge - is said the be the most famous bridge in the wold. It is also the longest suspention bridge ever made by man. It was called the "Golden" since the redish color ( which is actually a vermillion orange) color turns goldish when the sun reflects it light on it during sunset. TRIVIA : Unfortunately, the Golden gate bridge it is said to be the most reported place to commit suicide in the world)

Here's a dedication stone for all the brave seafares who crossed the Pacific Ocean at the park overlooking the Golden Gate bridge
