More photos from San Francisco :)

Here are some more photos
enjoy :)

On our first day, we joined a bus tour to the city. We took off from the fisherman's wharf and then drove off to the center of town. Check out the photos of some of the city structures that we saw, especially the San Francisco city hall which is huge and good enough to replace the white house. we also saw the "crookedest street", San Francisco's china town and the "gay st" where most of the gay population resides, too bad we missed the gay parade, apparently they had it last monday(24/06), which was our expected arrival, oh well... we've photographed some of the wall murals around this area, very interesting.


Eventually we stopped at Mission Dolores, it's a very old church, kinda reminds me of the church i saw from "nacho libre", its amazing how they have maintained that place. We then proceeded to Twin Peaks to see the whole city, the site was breath taking :) on our way back there was a falcon just gliding, looking for food, i think that was the first time i've ever seen a falcon up close, so that was a bonus.

Next was the San Francisco garden, they had a japanese garden there, but we had to pay to get inside! It's pretty but I still prefer the new plymouth and the hastings garden and they were free :) And finally, we drove to the golden gate bridge, and then parked at the end for some more sightseeing. It was incredible, and once again we ponder on human ingenuity, what a sight it was! It's one of those "I wish you were here" places, and i did wish you were all there with us at that time :)

After that, we decided to be dropped back at the fisherman's wharf and go out for dinner. we ordered a fish(chris's choice) and a crab(aimee's choice). the meal was very enjoyable, but eating the crab was the highlight of the night! the waiter said that he'd crushed some parts of it already so it'll be easier to eat, because otherwise they will have to give me a hammer! i guess its an embarrassing site to see a lady pounding that crab with all her might hahahha we took some photos of this crab eating event :)
