Fun @ Vacation !! SFO - Day 1

Oooh So was I talking about the SFO trip the last time ??? Well ..... Yes, ask me about the trip and I would be spell bounded !!! The time at SFO just flew and before I could realize it was Sunday and we were heading back home !! The weather forecast said it would be pleasant at SFO for the three days and we were indeed greeted with a beautiful weather when we reached there. We had planned well in advance & there were huge print outs of places to visit, the map directions of places, decisions on scenic drives, the calculations on freeway I-5 or the 101, the activities available to freak out and etcetras and etcetras !!
So, we started from this place called the "Union Square" and had a wonderful tram journey (picture above) to a place called the "Fisherman's Wharf". After reaching "FW", we hired 4 bicycles and rode down the coast till about the famous "Golden Gate" and halted then and there, on our way, at many a place to take couple of pictures to take back home some souvenirs ;-)

Ooohh but, we were quite unfortunate to have not gotten the beautiful view of the famous "Golden Gate Bridge" (picture above) as the day was pretty foggy. Down the shore we visited few places and one of which was the "Pier 39" where we had our grab for our little stomach which starved quite so much after all the bicycle ride we had done !!!One of the things that really attracted me towards the city was its streets that went steep up-and-down (picture above) not allowing the driver to see what came ahead on the other side of the road whether you went up the street or when you drove down the steep !!! It was a real fun I must say ;-) Ooohh you must actually be there to experience a drive of a kind !! Talking about the streets of SFO, then I must absolutely mention here without forgetting that during our Tram Journey, we passed by and had a glance at the famous "Lombard Street", which otherwise is called the most "Crookedest Street" of the world !! So did we drive there ?? Oooh yes, definitely but on our third and the last day at SFO, way back home :-)
