The first thing we noticed in California was that the weather was a lot cooler. It wasn’t like freezing or anything. Here, it was cloudy and windy. What caught our attention again was the large number of homeless people here, not as many as in Los Angeles but still very noticeable. As we ate a late snack in Mcdonald’s, a homeless lady came in and it was clear that she wanted something to eat. She was wrapped in a long blanket although it was very dirty. We saw other homeless people just sleeping on the hard concrete. It was sad to see that.
When in San Francisco, the main attraction to see is the Golden Gate Bridge. The most iconic structure in California—we had read that it was the most photographed structure in the world! As soon as we saw the famous red bridge, we both immediately started taking pictures. We later learned on the tour how and why the bridge was built. We walked along a short section of the bridge to get a better look at how this huge suspension bridge is supported.
At the end of the tour, our guide told us about a street festival on 16th. We didn’t want to miss out anything, so we jumped on the bus there.
