San Francisco - Good morning California!

 

I chose to start my trip in the USA with San Francisco because I just wanted to see an old friend of mine – Anthony. I met him years ago when he was visiting France so when I told him I was moving to the USA he directly invited me to discover his city. And, to be honest, it’s been a long time that I wanted to see the famous Golden Gate Bridge! Moreover S.F  has this reputation to be a very open-minded city so I shouldn’t have miss it!

 

I started my day in the heart of S.F in the Union Square. I was totally surrounded by skyscrapers.

Then I went to the MOMA (Museum of Modern Art), the architecture of the building is very impressive! But unfortunately, I discovered that the museum was closed each Wednesdays…

 

So, with Anthony we chose to go to Haight Ashbury but before he made a little detour with his car to make me see the cable cars!

About Haight Ashbury : It is a neighbourhood in S.F very famous because it was the place of birth of the “Summer of love” during the 70’s.  When you go there, you really can feel this hippie atmosphere. I really loved its Victorian houses which are full of colours!

 

After a lunch in a Starbuck (I already miss Mexican food…) with Anthony we went to the Golden Gate bridge! It is the symbol of the city. It connects San Francisco to the little city of Sausalito.

The Golden Gate bridge is huge. Really. And definitively it is better to see it for real than in pictures! We made a walk across the gate to enjoy the incredible view on the Pacific.

And finally, we made a little cruise to see the gate from the ocean… It was really amazing!

 

One day  is not enough to visit San Francisco but I don’t have the time to stay longer. I hope I will be back soon to visit the rest of the city.

I loved the “soul” of San Francisco and I really advise you to go there, you will not regret!

 

Tonight I’m taking my flight to reach Los Angeles! I hope I’ll see some celebrities!

 

Ps: Did you know that the Silicon Valley is located just to the south of San Francisco?
