San Francisco (day 1)

We had such a blast on our trip to San Francisco. I wish it could have been longer! We spent 3 days seeing the sites of the BIG city. The first day we took BART, the subway, to downtown San Francisco. Dan said it reminded him of riding the subway in Hungary except it was a lot cleaner in Hungary. When we got downtown we stood in a crazy long line to purchase tickes to ride the cable car further into the city. While in line a nice old man and his wife approached us and give us their passes that they weren't able to use anymore. We thought that was great cause it saved us money and time because we didn't have to wait in the line anymore. The cable car was lots of fun, It's crazy how those things can go up and down such steep hills. The cable car dropped us off at the top of Lombard Street. The craziest most windy street ever. After the hike down Lombard Street we went to Ghirardelli Square. We had the BEST hot fudge sunday. Sooooo yummy! After filling our tummies with yummy chocolate we walked along Fisherman's Warf. It was almost like being in Mexico with all of the little shops along the street. Along the way we bought some super cool sunglasses. We walked down several piers to check out the view of the ocean. Our favorite was Pier 39 because of the seals. They were so funny to listen and watch. Here are the pictures from our first day. There will be more pictures to come, as soon as school settles down a bit.

HAHA! I laughed every time I saw this sign. It's pretty sad that I have the same sense of humor as my 9 year-old brother.

Check out all those seals.




We were trying to get the view of the city in the background. It didn't work out so well.
