USA 2002 - San Francisco - The Sights

San Francisco: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6

There really is SO much to see in San Francisco! On another one of Angela's days off we went to a Baseball game, went to a Sea Life centre and visited some Japanese Gardens.

ABOVE & BELOW: These were some of the views from the baseball stadium of the San Francisco Giants - the Pacific Bell Park. Although we were quite some distance from all the action on the field, the actual view across the San Francisco Bay more than made up for it.

BELOW: A man throwing a leather ball at a man with a bat. It really did seem like people went to the baseball game to eat food, chat and look at the view - nobody seemed to care about what was going on on the field! By the end of the game we still hadn't figured out who was who, or even who had won!!

ABOVE & BELOW: During our time in San Francisco we also managed to visit the Japanese Tea Gardens in the Golden Gate Park - the largest urban park in the world!

ABOVE & BELOW: We also managed to get to Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf which was very touristy, but definately worth a visit. We went to an aquariam where we travelled through a underwater glass tunnel on a conveyor belt - and saw loads of sharks (above) and smaller fish. There were lots of souvenier shops at Pier 39, but the highlight were all the lazy sea lions (below).

BELOW: While in San Francisco we also did an awful lot of shopping! There were so many huge shops with floors and floors of clothes - this kept Ang very happy. I enjoyed China Town (below) the best because it was full of camera/gadget shops.
