After Thanksgiving hubby and I did nothing but cleaned the apartment every weekend and bought few things for my family's room. We prepared everything from the room, food, clothes and the car that we rented on the day we picked them up in San Francisco airport. It was also our first long drive before we got married. It was 14th of December when my family arrived here. And we thought we weren't able to make it in San Francisco because it's been snowing even before Thanksgiving. I actually felt dizzy throughout the travel because I didn't have enough sleep and driving through the mountains wasn't my thing too.
Unluckily, we got hit by a car. For a moment I thought we were going to spend the rest of the day worrying about the rental car or if the man will call someone up. But we were able to fix it and we enjoyed the rest of the day and we had spare time to do side trips while waiting for their arrival. Thought one thing I don't like about big cities is that there is always traffic. Coming from the Philippines, I'm used to being stuck in traffic but this was different. Driving for four hours and having to deal with traffic - I didn't like it at all. But I didn't let it get into me. I just slept through it. Lol.
We went to Ghirardelli Square and of course, the Golden Gate bridge. We were supposed to go to Fisherman's Wharf but we had to leave early because of traffic. But it's okay I've been there once. I was just happy I get to revisit these places with hubby and his dad. Sadly, it was cloudy/rainy day in San Francisco. I told hubby the next time we are going to travel somewhere I want to try the best foods in the town we are visiting or anything that is nice to visit besides those tourist spots. I want to explore and experience the place by visiting the heart of it and know its history.
So there, after Golden Gate and Ghirardelli we headed to the airport and while stuck in the traffic I couldn't help but think how it's like to live in San Francisco. Besides the busy and fast pace life in San Fo, I wondered what it feels like living there. I saw many cafés, museums, the list goes on and some of the streets are narrow or uphill and the cars are parked outside I mean, even in our place but it's very close to the main streets. It's different from what I saw in Los Angeles and Carson. I like the houses that is for sure and the city during the night. I think that is when it is more alive! So long San Francisco, I will be back again to explore more of you!
If you any thing to suggest on where is the best food, store or things to do in San Fo please comment below! I would love to visit them someday! Thank you!
Thank God, we made home safely! We waited for almost two-three hours in the airport. I believe we left San Fo at 10 pm and got home at 2 am. It was windy when we reached Carson city. Good experience for my visitors. Haha. Lol ;-)
