I roamed San Fransisco by foot, and I also had many opportunities to see all the famous landmarks. I first took a bus form Moscone West, which is located South of Market Street and near the downtown area. The bus ferried us to Fort Mason for a ‘cheers to you’ party. Then I joined an immersion program in the Presidio, which took me through the streets of San Francisco, of course, I went around the city before this, but I didn’t mind doing this again.
I here not only to see San Francisco, but to meet up with my childhood friend, Amy, who indulged me in riding the cable car all the way to Fisherman’s Wharf, and we took Amtrak to Bay Bridge, around the Embarcadero, the Financial District and various other stops. I found San Francisco’s street layout very easy to understand. Where Fisherman’s Wharf is, the Presidio, Cow Hollow, Telegraph Hill Russian Hill, the Marina and the Golden Gate Bridge are found, in located in the Northern part of the city. The Civic Center, Japantown, Chinatown, Union Square, Financial District and Tenderloin areas of found in the Central part of the city. Market Street cuts right in the middle of the Shopping District. The Southern part of the city is the South of Market, otherwise known as SOMA, this is where Castro, Yerba Buena and all the way to Daly City and on to the International Airport is.
Of course, San Francisco is known for the Golden Gate Bridge, which connects the northern part of the Bay Area to the peninsula. My hotel San Francisco is famous for was not far from my activities at Fort Mason and at the Presidio, both within walking distance; I was very fortunate. I was fortunate to have joined my immersion learning program, which the National Parks hosts. I got to experience the beauty of San Francisco’s national parks firsthand. I was so delighted to join the whole contingent and glad to be the only person from an international affiliation.
