This morning we all went on a 2 1/2 tour on a "motorized trolley". It started at the famous Pier 39 tourist site, and wound thru the city. The first stop was at the Palace of Fine Arts/Exploratorium. It was really only a 10 minute (or so) photo stop. The site is what is left of the Pan-Pacific Expo …

Nestled in the middle of Golden Gate Park, the De Young is San Francisco's largest and most famous fine arts museum. Housed in a earthy meets industrial looking copper-plated building, it's decidely more modern than the more classic Legion of Honor, SF's other fine arts museum. Personally, I prefer …

In a city where almost everything costs money - and usually a lot of it - Twin Peaks gives you something to do for free. You can drive up here and many people bike here too. This is by far the best view of the city you will be able to find. You can see the Golden Gate, Downtown, the Pacific Ocean, t…

The Academy has been closed for nearly 10 years...has it really been that long? Come to think of it, my last visit there was in junior high…yup, a while ago! I really don’t even remember how the old Academy looked like or how it was architecturally set-up. And I barely recall the announcement fo…

Went here to go see the Three Gorges Project paintings by Liu Xiaodong, a set of contemporary paintings illustrating the social and political impact of the building of the Three Gorges Dam. The exhibit (which runs until July 16th) was pretty interesting, and paintings were impressive, especially t…

Bernal Heights overlooks the Mission, but on a clear day you can see much much more than that. When we went it got really foggy as we went higher. This reduced the view but added a fabulous spooky feel. As you walk along the top, there's one place where you can look out and see several teirs of land…

my second time in SF, but the first time i've visited the coit tower...
you have to pay for the elevator to get to the top of the tower... i think it was 7$, but i'm not sure anymore... that's not big deal, but what pissed me off most, was that they had dirty plastic safety windows around the tower…

The first time I ever went to the Wharf area, between Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39, my Family was in Oakland, at the Army base, and my Father was doing reviews for structural failures on all the double decker highways that 'pancaked' during the 7.3 earthquake...
So this time was under much bette…

I don't really go to Japantown except to get my hair cut (Comsa/Art'y on Post street, yay!). Mostly Japantown's kind of a big mall with specialty stores and this japanese looking tower thingy, but that said it does have some cool stores. You can buy some hello kitty accessories for tricking out your…

Because the Lombard Street is so famous, I went to take a look. I took the wrong cable car and ended up at the bottom of the street. It was actually not that bad, because at the bottom of the street you can take nice pictures of cars coming down the street. When I walked up the stairs to get to the …

Mt Davidson is a free hiking area close to Twin peaks in the city. There's actually a huge cross memorial on the top of the park area, wihch is surprisingly hidden throughout despite its size. I'd never noticed it before while driving around the city, but now it will always stand out.The…

Built in 1923 in an area known as Russian Hill, this brick paved street is only about 1/4 mile long and has eight curves back and forth to make travel down easier than the 27 degree hill would be without it. The city knew it was too steep to allow anyone trying to travel up the hill, so they made it…
