The San Francisco Treat

This weekend I flew up to San Francisco for a night for a consultation with a Grad school. I have never been to the area (another thing I had neglected to do throughout my four years) so I left myself a little extra time to see the city. My initial reaction: everyone was so pleasant and helpful. From cab drivers to fellow airplane passengers, everyone had tips on what to see and where to go. My second reaction: I should have brought warmer clothes! It was a rainy Friday in San Francisco, which made my experience a little more difficult. Luckily, my hotel was right on Market Street and the public transportation is the easiest and most convenient that I’ve ever experienced. After my meeting, I headed out toward Union Square, passing beautiful historic buildings, parks, gardens, and artistic water features. It seemed like every building either housed successful financial companies and law firms or creative agencies and museums. The city was beautiful, despite the rain, and had such an exciting vibe. Once in Union Square, I stopped in for some shopping, as every girl should, before riding the cable car to Fisherman’s Warf. The Cable Car drivers have a great sense of humor and knew how to keep the ride fun. On the ride, we passed through so many areas of San Francisco that I wish I had more time to explore. Another trip will definitely be necessary to adequately experience all that this beautiful city has to offer.
