July 5 San Francisco

We woke up at our hotel in Oakland and had a delicious breakfast to give us energy for our long day out in the city. San Francisco is so full of life and culture we knew our day would be a good one. Our first activity was a cable car ride! It was so cool! Our group split up into two cable cars so we could all enjoy a good seat. The cable cars are the last of their kind in the world! It was so fun to go up and down the hills of San Francisco. Once we made it to our stop at Union square we had free time to have lunch and check out all that downtown San Francisco has to offer! 

After lunch we met our tour guides that would tell us all about the history and culture of the beautiful city. We went to walk down Lombard street, the most crooked street! There were so many beautiful flowers lining the street as it curved back and forth! We also saw so many neighborhoods! We stopped at the city capitol to see the beautiful buildings. There is a panoramic view of the city from a small mountain like area called Twin Peaks. You have to get there at a good time otherwise the fog rolls in and you can't see a thing! Lucky for us we could still see the city streets, buildings, homes and parks! It was an awesome view! Our last stop was China town. It's the biggest in the US! We had Chinese for dinner, so much food! We all got fortune cookies with our dessert and so many of them surly brought us good fortune :) 

Our day was a long one, but we want to see as much of San Francisco as possible! It's city is amazing!
