San Francisco

We went to San Francisco on Sunday. It was really nice weather.
It took about 1 hour to drive from San Jose. I don't know much about San Francisco, but it seems to be very famous for its steep hills.
We went sightseeing to places such as Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39, the Golden Gate Bridge and Lombard street .
There are a lot of sea lions in residence at Pier 39 and they are very smelly, but it is interesting to see their behaviour. Sometimes they push each other off the pontoon and into the water. From Pier 39 we also saw Alcatraz in the bay. We saw a beautiful sunset and the Golden Gate Bridge from Sea cliff.
To finish the day, we went to Lombard Street which is famous for having a steep, one-block section that consists of tight hairpin turns. Some tourists were showing off by racing their car down the street. In spring, there are many flowers along the street, but it is not good area to live because there are many tourists in all seasons.
