- Hello San Francisco!
We've been wanting to visit San Francisco for a long time. In fact, even before I met Ruth I've been wanting to visit. The closest I came was way back in 1988 when I went to a conference in San Jose, only a few miles south of the Bay. But I flew...

7 Things to Do in San Francisco
San Francisco is beautiful and entertaining. With countless things to do in the city, prioritising places and activities can be an issue. So, here is a list of things one should do in San Francisco.
Golden Gate Bridge
Walking or biking across the Golden Gate Bridge might not be possible, but you can move around and click some pictures. Even locals enjoy it.
Did you know that the Golden Gate Bridge is the most photographed bridge in the world? So, if you are going to give it a miss, you will definitely regret your decision.
Fresh produce for the Foodies
For food-obsessed visitors, Ferry Building Marketplace is the place to be because artisan food purveyors and regional farmers offer organic fruits and vegetables. Apart from this, you can even get gourmet goodies, anything from olive oil, cheese, meat, bread, jams, chocolate and flowers.
Yank Sing
The fresh aroma that comes from the dumplings at Yank Sing is irresistible. If you are moving around, you will definitely be attracted to Yank Sing. Steamed and fried dumplings offered at Yank Sing are so tantalising that you might want to enjoy them on a daily basis.
Cable cars
With even a few dollars in your pocket, you can enjoy a ride on a designated historic landmark. Cable car lines leave from a number of spots. So it is important to know the ones around you. Also, you should know where it ends so that you can make the necessary arrangements.
Presidio
Off the Grid, a food truck gathering, offers Picnic at the Presidio on every Sunday from April through October. Here, you will find free lawn games, food vendors, live music and experiences larger than life.
On Thursdays, in the same period, you will find Twilight at the Presidio - a food truck ‘campout’ where you will find cocktail service, lantern-lit dining cabanas, music, Adirondack chairs and more. This is one thing no one should miss if they visit during the said period.
Musical nights
If you love live music entertainment, you should visit the uniquely San Franciscan Beach Blanket Babylon as it is the longest running musical venue in theater history.
Last year, it celebrated its 40th year and since then it only got better.
Alcatraz Island
Touring this island is fun, but you should visit it during the night because the spots look only at their best after dark.
