the hippie lovin san francisco.




San Francisco is one of the my favorite cities. The fact you can be walking around Union Square to do some amazing shopping, go a couple blocks in the wrong direction and you've landed yourself in the tenderloin district. Which has a flavor all on its own. I have been to the city a couple of times. Each trip experiencing something new. For first timers it is always great
to see the Fisherman's Warf. The clam chowder is do die for, and the aquarium is great for families. Not to forget about the amazing street performers! The Golden Gate Bridge is a walk every traveler should do. The Bart system I find extremely easy to get the hang of. Landing at SFO you can pick up the Bart and you can find yourself in the middle of the city in just a short ride. Haight Street is one of my favorites. The colorful stores piled one after the other.
For those vintage shoppers you will find what you need here. Artisits surround the city. Whether they are sculpting, singing, acting, painting...you can find your nitch here. Nightlife is impressive for those looking for it. You will find trendy bars or your local hole in the wall on every corner. Good friends of mine own a store named Shotwell....amazing vintage clothing. They sometimes will throw their own parties for frequent shoppers and friends. Golden Gate Park will bring you many adventures. From the protesters to the Flower Conservatory, to Romeo & Juliets Garden, to the De Young Museum. There is always something....or someone to take in. Our last trip we watched San Francisco Ballet at the War Memorial Opera House. The building alone is a site to be seen. It is a wonderful city and one that should be visited. I have been many times and have only experienced a fraction of what is to be seen.
