Welcome to Beautiful San Francisco!


Today we got a huge present, sleeping in the morning! Which everyone enjoyed a lot. After packing everything on the bus, we drove to San Francisco, California!

We stopped on the way an as a true West Coast American, we had lunch at In N Out Burger…and of course had a burger and French fries!

 After we were done eating, we kept on our way to San Francisco. When we got there, wow what a beautiful and pleasant feeling. We were in San Francisco – the beautiful city that everyone admires!

We saw the beautiful Golden Gate Bridge…just like in the pictures, or maybe even prettier. The landscape was just amazing! The cameras didn’t stop flashing to catch the beautiful and romantic buildings that fill up the city. The up and down streets are not just in the movies and we also got to enjoy them such as their traffic! But there was not a problem once it gave us more time to appreciate this beautiful city and its magic scenery!

Our first stop was in the De Young Museum where we got to watch some art and also a very interesting exposition of Jean Paul Gaultier. It was interesting to see all their fancy and different designs and even more exiting when we got to know that some of them were used by starts like Beyonce or Sarah Jessica Parker.

After the museum we headed to Pier 39! Once again what an amazing and pleasant view! This city just kept impress us more and more. No matter which way we would look the view was so pretty! We got to see the sea lions and then walk through the Pier and appreciate the beauty of the place.

At 6.30 we went to have supper at Bubba Gump Shrimp  to try the famous shrimp served, based after the famous movie Forrest Gump! The food was good and after it we had some more time to explore.

From Pier 39 we got to see Alcatraz, the prison. It is a lot closer from the coast than we thought! But about it we will get to know more in the next few days once we will have the chance to visit it! So now I say the goodbyes for today and good night everybody since our “go to the rooms time” starts!
