AN AMATEUR ADVENTURER
HOW TO EXPERIENCE SAN FRANCISCO IN 60 HOURS
1. DO THE TOURISTY THING AND TAKE A TRIP TO FISHERMAN'S WHARF. STOP AT THE LOCAL STORES AND GO VISIT THE SEA LIONS.
2. THIS AWESOME PENNY ARACDE, MUSÉE MÉCANIQUE, HAS DOZENS AND DOZENS OF WORKING VINTAGE ARACADE GAMES. (SOME LESS POLITICALLY CORRECT THEN OTHERS) BRING A LOT OF QUARTERS CAUSE YOU'LL WANT TO PLAY EVERYTHING.
3. YOU HEAR ALL ABOUT SAN FRANSISCO'S PAINTED LADIE HOUSES; BUT ALL THE HOUSES ARE VERY COLORFUL AND CHARMING. TAKE SOME TIME TO GO THROUGH ONE OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND APPRECIATE THE INCREDIBLY UNIQUE AND CUTE HOUSES.
4. EVERYONE WANTS TO SEE THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE, BUT THE REAL INCREDIBLE VIEW IS WHEN YOU'RE STANDING ON IT. THE VIEW IS ABSOLUTELY UNBEATABLE, AND THERE ARE FUN TRAILS ON THE OTHER SIDE.
5. RENT BIKES! ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO SEE A NEW PLACE IS RIDING AROUND ON BIKES. WE CHOSE TO RIDE TO THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE AND STOPPED AT ALL THE BEACHES ON THE WAY.
6. JUST ACROSS THE BRIDGE IS SAUSALITO. THOUGH TECHNICALLY NOT IN SANFRANSISCO IT'S A SUPER EASY STOP BY FERRY. THERE ARE PLENTLY OF CUTE LOCAL SHOPS AND RESTAURANTS.
7. THE BEST THING WE DID DURING THE TRIP WAS LANDS END AND SUTRO BATHS. THE VIEW WAS ONE OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE THINGS IV'E EVER SEEN. HUGE CRASHING WAVES WHILE EXPLORING SMALL CAVES AND WHAT IS LEFT OF THE BATH HOUSE.
8. SUPER FUN AFTERNOON SPENT IN CHINA TOWN. GO TO THE MALLS AND STORES TO STALK UP ON SOUVENEIRS AND BUBBLE TEA.
9. SADLY NO PHOTOS WERE TAKEN EXCEPT THIS ONE OF US HAVING A SERIOUS CONVERSATION WITH A LEARNING COMPUTER. BUT THE OBSERVATORY IS AN ABSOUTELY AMAZING MUSEUM TO VISIT. EVERYTHING IS INTERACTIVE AND IT'S WAY TOO MUCH FUN.
10. EVERYONE SHOULD VISIT ALCATRAZ AT ONE POINT IN THEIR LIFE. I AM NOT USUALLY A BIG FAN OF AUDIO TOURS, BUT THIS ONE IS EXTREMELY ENGAGING . NOT ONLY IS IT A DARK AND HISTORIC PLACE, BUT THE VIEW FROM THE ISLAND IS EXTRODINARY.
