Visitors... (Pt. 2)

My last post highlighted the touristy stuff I've done with guests in Sacramento. Now it's time for downtown San Francisco!

Here's my immediate short-list of things to do in San Francisco followed of some pics:

• The Palace of Fine Arts
• Golden Gate Bridge, Baker Beach, and Lands End (Views Galore)
• Golden Gate Park (LOTS of cool stuff to do in there)
• AT&T Park, where the San Francisco Giants play
• Fisherman's Wharf is the 2nd most visited spot in CA, next to Disneyland, according to a tourguide we had last year. Feel free to debunk this fun fact. My favorite spot here: Ghirardelli Square
• Alcatraz Island - The self-guided tour using headphones is great! I suggest watching Escape from Alcatraz (1979), with Clint Eastwood, before doing the tour.
• Chinatown (The biggest one outside of China... take that NYC!)
• Cable Cars
• Union Square, if you fancy fancy things
• Twin Peaks, good for photos and sunsets
• Alamo Square, where the Full House house is located! Better known by some as one of the Seven Sisters.
• Haight Ashbury Neighborhood, not many hippies remain in their traditional garb, but much culture remains.
• Touch the Pacific Ocean

OK, I'm stopping now before this turns into some sort of comprehensive list... these places are what come to mind when I think of visiting SanFran. All fun stuff, but there's much more out there for us all!

Now for some of my favorite pics from the city:

The Golden Gate Bridge!
