We started the morning with a good breakfast and then we
headed to San Francisco. We first we
went to the cable car area so we could ride a cable car across the city. While waiting in line we met this really cool
old lady who chatted about San Francisco and her past acting career.
While riding the cable car everyone waved at us. It was like we were famous; everyone was
taking pictures of us! We also got to
ride on the outside of the cable car by holding onto the handles. It was really fun going up and down the steep
hills.
After that we had free time at Union Square. We had lunch and went Starbucks. We also went to this really big mall right
next to Union Square for shopping.
After our free time we met our tour guide, Anita. She was so energetic and she had some cool
stories about the city that she shared with us.
First we went to the city hill building.
There was a big screen in front of the capital so everyone could watch
the USA vs. Portugal World Cup game.
Then we went to see murals (including an awesome Diego
Riverra mural) in the Mission District and drove by the Height – Asburry hippie
district. We then drove up to Twin Peaks
to take pictures of the cityscape. It
was so windy up there!
After that we stopped at a park to see the beautiful Victorian
houses and then went to see Lombard street, the most crooked street in America.
It was so pretty. Our last stop was
Chinatown where we ate some delicious Chinese food. There was so much food; they kept on bring
more plates of food! Steven also taught
us how to use chopsticks.
We are all looking forward to see Alcatraz tomorrow!
