USA 2002 - San Francisco - Independence Day

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

Luckily, we were in San Francisco for Independence Day. The crowds were huge, but we still managed to enjoy ourselves listening to live music and watching the fireworks in the evening.

ABOVE: Tall ships came out for the celebrations.

ABOVE & BELOW: We arrived in the afternoon and sat down in a park overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. There were lots of live music, food and atmosphere to soak in.

BELOW: The view of Alcatraz wasn't bad either!

BELOW: The fireworks display in the evening were spectacular! From our vantage point we could see right across the bay to other displays taking place. The display nearest to us was launched from two boats out in the water. We watched from a pier about 150m from the coast. It was so crowded that it took us nearly 30 minutes to get off the pier once the display had finished!
