San Francisco, Dec. 8-10

We finally made it to San Francisco - together!




What a beautiful and exciting city. There are so many highlights to look at: one of them the Golden Gate Bridge - definitely. Although the weather wasn't the best, we enjoyed every moment.






We stayed in a hotel in the Mission disctrict: Elements Hotel (http://www.elementshotel.com/). It is a hostel style hotel with basic rooms and fairly inexpensive rates. The nice thing is that it is in midst of a trendy district with lots of cool bars. One of them was in the same building as the hotel - it was very nice (with a cool roof-top bar during nice weather nights): http://www.medjoolsf.com/.














Other highlights of the city included the Bay Bridge (and the ride over it). Here in the background with at in the foreground... who is this good-looking guy next to the statues :-)















Another highlight.... our visit at Alcatraz and the boat tour to it. Below you see the view back to Frisco from the boat. The shining lines are the steep streets in SF.
