we moved on to san francisco for about 3 days. totally loved the place! :) i like the lifestyle, happening, the people are rather conscious about their health. you see americans running and biking every hour of the day. very windy and sunny. but rather foggy too, which makes the beautiful sights it has to offer hard to see.
we visited muir woods. a really cool forest. :)
cute little deers and super tall trees! :)
and then we drove up some mountain.
san francisco! :) they do have really steep roads! like 45 degrees steep. tiring to walk up! heh.
this is supposed to be the world's most crooked road. cant really see but it's just really winding.
this is their cable car. managed to hop onto a stationary one to take a quick photo. :)
and we went on a 30-minute cruise
to see alcatraz island. i think it was some small little island which had a prison or something. the captain was telling us the history over the speakers, but it was too noisy. heh.
and we walked round fisherman's wharf! really nice place! :) super happening. they have lazy sea lions. and cool dudes doing their own stuns for entertainment.
the next day we visited the aquarium of the sea, at fisherman's wharf. pretty jelly fishes. so transparent.
they had some pretty cool creatures around. videos at the bottom. :) have super cute baby sting rays, that pop out of the water to see you! lol.
this is the exploratorium. :)
such big leaves! lol.
and the famous golden gate bridge :)
yepps, we walked on it :)
exactly 14 years ago, i was here in san francisco, as a little 5 year old girl, standing in the same place with the same background taking a photo. something similar to the above, except that i'm bigger now! lol. when i get home, i'll go find that picture. heh.
i have no idea what this place is called. but the building is so pretty. and seems like those olden roman palaces. :)
the coast in san francisco
after san francisco. we drove back to oregon. and along the way, we saw this beautiful mountain. i forgot the name of it.
