San Francisco it's for me!
by April
My favorite travel destination is San Francisco, California. It is wonderful city in all respects. The architecture is amazing; the views of the San Francisco Bay, Pacific Ocean, and surrounding areas are breathtaking. The shopping, especially in the Union Square district which features Nordstrom’s, Niemen Marcus, Macy’s, Nike, many art galleries and other top notch stores, is virtually unparalleled. If all that shopping makes you hungry and thirsty, stop in at Lefty O’Douls for a beer and a Hof brau style meal at a very reasonable price. The ethnic diversity of the area is fascinating, and provides for some truly terrific restaurants. Two of the most interesting areas are Chinatown and North Beach. The latter is primarily Italian. There are numerous museums and parks in San Francisco. The Exploratorium is a great place for kids. The de Young, and the Palace of Fine Arts are amazing. The Presidio, once home to a large military installation is a fantastic place to hike. It is also home to the Letterman Digital Arts complex owned by Lucas Films. There are hotels and motels available in most price ranges and with a variety of amenities. You needn’t spend a fortune to have a great time in San Francisco. San Francisco is a very dog friendly city, so travelling with you pooch is a pleasure |
