San Francisco’s Not a Disappointment After All

Posted by admin in Travel

Let me explain, when I was in Portland, I was in this hiking shop and was reading about all the numerous hikes I could take while staying in San Francisco. I thought this was great since I booked a cheap hotel on-line for 6 nights: http://www.sanfranciscorestaurant.com. But, when arrived in San Francisco and made a few inquiry’s about these large number of hikes, I was told that the majority of the hikes were inaccessible by public transportation. My hopes were shattered.

I did my best to uplift my mood, so I headed downtown and came across ‘Union Square’ and just happened to see this man perform. He was promoting a variety show that he and his fellow performers would be performing later in the evening. He was a juggler – comedy act and I found him very entertaining. I was really enjoying his performance, but then he was followed by a stand-up comic who wasn’t funny at all. I felt kind of bad for him, he was really blowing it. I left before any more damage was done.

I found the Famous ‘Bloomingdale’s’ and was stunned by how huge it was and by how expensive it was. There were a few cool things in the store, like the two enclosed glass cabinets displaying the costumes for the ‘Joker’ and for ‘Batman’ from the movie ‘The Dark Knight’. Later, I hoped on the tram, which really didn’t do anything for me, I felt like there were just glorified buses. I found myself at the waterfront and I came across a chocolate factory that had some free samples. I managed to down a load of samples, and no one gave me a dirty look or anything. I then walked down the waterfront a bit further and came across Pier 39, which turned out to be a very interesting place with cafes and shops, a Hard Rock Cafe and a shop that was selling an original Abraham Lincoln signature at the sheer price of $18,000! Then I heard seals, but not before I smelled them. There on the harbour were all these massive seals hanging around a dock, well more like took over a dock. I stood watching them for a while, they were so funny. As I continued down, I came upon Fisherman’s Wharf.

By this time I felt I got in a good hike, even though it wasn’t a nature hike, I at least saw wildlife! I returned to my very inexpensive hotel room and call it a night and a great day after all.
