Doing San Fransisco as real TOURISTS!

Our first real day in San Fransisco. What to do, what to do?

Guided Tourist Bus - that's what to do!
We bought a tour for down town San Fransisco, and got the Golden Gate tour for free! By mistake - but hey it was a gift send from above! That's how I'd like to see it. Mom called it something else, but let's just say her negative choice of word won't find a place in this blog. It's a precious gift when someone 'screw up' your booking to the better! And she come to realize this too! ;)

This will just be a short picture up date, there's not to much to say. The city is cool with all the hills, the bridges are huge and the street life is busy. It's just like on TV with all the cable cars driving around. The guides on the bus were really good and they bombed us with cool facts.
For lunch my mom confused me more then ever! She choose Mc Donalds instead of Rainforest Cafe! My own Mother! Still can't believe it. Sure, it's easy and fast, but we had just learned that there's over 3000 restaurants and 89 Starbucks in San Fransisco. I never for thought she'd pick Mc Donalds after that statement- and that I would be the grumpy 'parent' walking in to Mc Donalds after her.. So strange.
It was a long day, which luckily ended better with more sight seeing, shopping and Chinese food.

San Fransisco City Hall
The dome of the city hall is the 5th largest in the world. 

Not by far the steepest hill in San Fransisco, but still a typical view.

Strawberry lemonade at Pier 39 - Yummy!

The Sea lions at Pier 39, quiet a show

Ready for the Golden Gate tour!

Another hill, but with focus on the cable car system.
This web is seen all over the place. Pretty cool how it's in use.
