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...

Streets of San Francisco, day one, the beginning...

Over a decade ago we made a quick trip to San Francisco. And it was really quick (actually just one day) so we didn't have a chance to see much... We landed in the airport in the morning and took a train downtown.

 
Actually, it was the subway, not just a regular train, but does that really matter? The speed was really important for us so we were glad to reach downtown in less than 30 minutes.


We switched gears, I mean transportation, and after another trip on the bus we ended up around the Russian Hills where we had a chance to wander around and look at everything that caught our eye.


San Francisco is a very special place. The hills are everywhere and you are constantly moving up and down and... it is not that easy as it sounds. Walking up the hills is... mmm... hard but as a reward you can find some nice views to the bay down the street, old houses here and there and also a lot of flowers blooming even at the end of August!




So... we walked up and down again and again and, honestly, really enjoyed that!



Restaurants, churches, gardens...




I know, you think I was tired by this point and couldn't keep my camera straight... and the horizon line is way off horizon


But take a look at this panorama - That's just a street running up the hill ;) I remember staying there and moving the eye from one side of the crossroads to another and back... amazing pictures I should tell you ;)
