San Francisco...we meet at last. A great big city with so many different areas worth discovering and getting lost in. Leaving the colder weather back in Melbourne, we were really looking forward to some warmer weather and summery sunshine...I just wish someone would've told me that it's never really warm in San Francisco, I would've packed slightly differently! Weather was gorgeous nonetheless, just slightly chillier than expected. Going back to the States, there's one thing we were really looking forward to: the food! The endless quest to find the best burrito, dinner or breakfast place was an enjoyable ride.
San Francisco has got lots of charm and is very colourful, so lends itself really well to photograph. We spent a few days wandering around with no clear plan in mind. Here are a few pics.
Visiting Alcatraz was a worthwhile expedition, they really did a good job with the audio tour and it's very compelling. The prison and the grounds were fun to explore, but the view of the city from the island was especially stunning. The island is close enough to the shore that you can still hear the humming of the city.
And here are some shots of the 4th of July fireworks at the pier.
