Whatever you've read about it, nothing can prepare you in any way for the sight that you will behold when you enter this place. The air is ancient - the streets smell of a culture that is so metro yet understated. The people are welcoming and the style quite european.
The crookedest street in the world is right here - with twists and turns that leave you agape.
Then "Fisherman's Wharf" on Pier39 is another gem - meant to separate tourists from their money. The prices are outrageous here, but the place is really beautiful. With sea lions making it their resting place, its about natural beauty all along.
We also visited the dreaded Alcatraz. The place where no prisoner could escape. We travelled there by ferry and it was a lovely experience.
From there on to the mystical Golden Gate bridge. I cant say any more.. u have to see it to believe it..
We also visited a small quaint neighbourhood called Sausolito. We had soup and coffee there to the strains of piped music..
Finally there was the fabulous Christmas Mass at Oakland. A celebration of joy!
