Two days in San Fransisco

Facing and feeling the teperature from five, rising to ten degree Celsius is no big deal. But it does make a big change when moving from under dark clouds with light showers and to look up towards a sunny and bright sky. It did make a big difference to me when I landed at San Fransisco from Seattle. Sharing my two days experience with you.

We stayed comfortably at Westin St Francis hotel located in a busy part of the city. It overlooked the Union Square, which enabled me to have its arial view through my room window

Came down to have a closer look at the Square

Moving further downtown:

Crookedest Street

Lombard Street is an east–west street in San Francisco, California that is famous for a steep, one-block section with eight hairpin turns. Stretching from The Presidio east to The Embarcadero, most of the street’s western segment is a major thoroughfare designated as part of U.S. Route. Wikepedia. Enjoy the ride!
