The streets of San Francisco


Amazing. It is a really beautiful city. Went to visit it on Saturday. Took a walk to the Powell Street cable car turnaround, then took a ride after an hour long waiting. Tourists ;)
Cable car
The city is so European it has electric buses. White and not red unlike in Budapest :)
Electric bus
The sky was amazingly blue, and the hills were really beautiful. Now I understand unlike in my neighborhood why there are no fat people in SF. They have to walk on those hills!
Since we didn't really prepare we just walked around without any destination. We went to the end of line of the cable car to the ocean. Watched how people swimming and kids playing in the sand with only a speedo on while my wife and i freeze to death :) We didn't have the energy to walk to the Golden Gate Bridge, but next time!
The historic tram also seems to be a nice ride:
And finally: not everyone speaks English :D
