photo dump: san francisco

I now understand why Tony Bennett left his heart in San Francisco! Where cable cars "climb halfway to the stars!", where "fog may chill the air, but I don't care!"...its gloriousness, its blue and windy sea and its golden sun will always have some place in my heart.

It was unfortunate that our baggage got delayed and I couldn't charge my camera for the first few days. Even more unfortunate was the only few days we had planned to be here, little did we know this small piece of land had so much to offer. For me, this was the epitome of the American dream; sunny skies, liberal and peaceful, good food, diversity...this was it! I was mesmerized by the grandioseness of the bridge and the hills, the stretch of sea. And the food was sooooo amazing, I've never been excited about vegetarian and food court meals looked so gourmet!

I could say a thousand things more about this place! But let these selection of photos speak for themselves!

The first thing we did was experience the mission burrito, Jlo was spoilt for choices
