san francisco

San Francisco je miesto, kde som vždy chcela ísť. A teraz som tu!!! Dorazili sme dnes ráno, našli motel - pre zmenu máme na dve noci naozajstnú strechu nad hlavou :) Pochodili sme celkom dosť, doviezli sme sa sem po Golden Gate Bridge, prešli sme sa po meste, po pobreží a dali mňam večeru v China Town. Ulice sú tu miestami naozaj strmé. Bude toho viac, zajtra máme celý deň. 

Štvrtok - Vybrali sme sa na Golden Gate Bridge, ale počasie veľmi nespolupracovalo, bola poriadna hmla, takže most do nej mizol... ale aspoň niečo sme z neho videli. Potom sme videli Presidio a kým Mathias išiel na nákupy, ja som sa prechádzala po Golden Gate Park. Ďalšia zastávka bola Haight Street, super časť mesta, také viac európske... Povozili sme sa po meste a vyšli na Twin Peaks. Normálne je odtiaľ dobrý výhľad na mesto, ale dnes sme videli len hmlu :) Ale navečer sa vyjasnilo aspoň pri mori, tak sme sa vrátili ku Golden Gate Bridge a tentokrát ho videli :D  

Piatok - keďže počasie tentokrát vyzeralo oveľa lepšie, skúsili sme Twin Peaks podruhé :) A úspešne, aj s výhľadom. Potom sme pozreli známe viktoriánske domy na Alamo Street a išli na nákupy (to nebol úplne môj nápad) a na obed do Chinatown. A potom niečo, čo sme nemohli vynechať, nemohla som odísť zo San Francisca bez toho, aby som videla City Lights Books. Je to Ferlinghettiho kníhkupectvo a videla som ho naživo!!! Kníhkupectvo, nie Ferlinghettiho samozrejme. Je to vo veľmi príjemnej štvrti, majú tam aj Kerouacovu ulicu a Beat Museum. Takže som bola v o svojom živle :) A navečer sme vyrazili do Yosemite. 

San Francisco - one of my dreams come true :) It's a place I've always wanted to go and now I'm here!!! We arrived today in the morning and actually found a motel - so we won't have to put up the tent for a change. At least for two days :) We drove in across Golden Gate Bridge, walked around the city today, saw the waterfront and had a yummy dinner in China Town. Some of the streets are really steep! There's more to come, we have a whole day tomorrow. 

Thursday- We started off at Golden Gate Bridge but the weather wasn't really cooperative and the bridge was disappearing into fog. Well we at least saw part of it and it looked pretty cool with the fog, too. The we drove to Presidio and while Mathias was doing some shopping I walked around Golden Gate Park. Next stop was Haight street - very colorful. Then we drove around the city and up to Twin Peaks from where there is, supposedly, a great view of the city but all we saw was a fog wall :) Shit happens, as Mathias correctly noted. However, the skies cleared in the evening, at least on the coast, so we got a second chance to see Golden Gate Bridge and this time we actually did see it!

The weather on Friday looked a lot better so we decided to give it a shot and drive up to Twin Peaks again, and we actually saw SF :) Then we checked out the famous Victorian houses on Alamo Square, went shopping (not quite my idea) and got a yummy lunch in Chinatown. The next stop was something I could never leave San Francisco without seeing - City Lights Books. It's Ferlinghetti's bookstore and I was there!!! It's in a really nice neighborhood; they even have Jack Kerouac Street and Beat Museum. Yeah! We left San Francisco in the evening to get to Yosemite - our next destination.
