Letters to a friend...: Farewell, San Francisco, still the second day ;)

About this blog:

We love traveling. We always capture tons of pictures from wherever we've been and we like sharing our traveling experiences with our friends. So, this is how this blog began - as short stories with pictures in an attempt to share where we've been and what we've seen. Even not stories , but just notes. Nothing serious and big. Mostly I'm writing these stories on a rush and sometimes even don't have time to re-read them. So, I apologize in advance for possible typos here and there. There can be some factual errors or inaccuracies and they even might be corrected one day. Don't hesitate to contact me if you find something that needs to be fixed and don't expect these notes to be a perfect novels ;) The stories in this blog are not in chronological order, but I will try to remember to put the date of the trip. So... welcome to this blog and, hopefully, you will find something interesting and have the same feeling we had when we were there. Let's go...

And... by the way... all pictures and texts in this blog are protected by International and USA Copyright laws, so if you'd like to repost or use something on your page - contact me first.

Using anything published here without permission is violation of the law and... it isn't really nice...

Farewell, San Francisco, still the second day ;)

To read the previous part click here -> San Francisco, day two, Chinatown and more

While we continued to walk along Market St we were looking here and there to find interesting places to see. We were already tired, because that was the second day we were non-stop exploring Frisco and we walked a lot... I mean it, A LOT... Finally we came to Civic Center plaza and San Francisco City Hall. Nice place and we stopped for a few minutes to have some rest and look around.

Just a few steps out of the plaza we found a big Farmers Market. The stands fill the street and you can buy all varieties of local berries and fruits there.

We stopped for a couple of minutes to listen to the Bach sonata and bought some strawberries. Berries were fresh and smelled just perfect!

Our next stop was at the San Francisco library. Nice modern building, it was cool inside and we had some rest, washed and ate the strawberries before deciding to make our last run.

We left the library and walked a bit longer just to find more old and nice buildings... At this point we realized how tired we were. We understood that we were unable to move further at all.

So we stayed for a few minutes looking at the trains (we were surprised the old (really old) trains were still in service) and dove underground to the metro to catch the train back to the airport.

Actually we were relieved that we could sit and not walk any longer ;)

Later we found ourselves sitting in the aircraft and watching how this big bird was leaving the surface and gliding up.

We waved to Frisco, said Goodbye to Oakland Bay Bridge and left this nice and cool city we already were in love with. Next time we definitely are going to find even more nice places to see there...
