The day after we arrived in Palo Alto, we headed to downtown San Fran to take a look at the city. We acted totally like tourists and took tons of pictures. We found a great sushi restaurant and looked for Chinese wedding dresses for Jenny. The city was pretty crowded and chaotic, but it was sunny and warm, so worth battling the crowds.
I know the picture is dark, but Chinatown was so cool I had to include the picture. The lanterns were hanging everywhere and there were sushi and noodle restaurants on every corner. We found some fun gifts for family and friends back home.
This is one of the views taken from the Trolley Car. It was a totally touristy thing to ride this around the city, but we couldn't resist. I was standing on the side and hanging on for dear life. And when another trolley car goes by, everyone on the outside has to squeeze themselves in, or else they'll get knocked off -that's how close they come to each other.

This was my favourite part of Fisherman's Warf. The fishermen bring in the fresh catch each morning and then the vendors cook the crab and sell them whole to anyone who's interested. It was a delicious dinner!
Alcatraz. We haven't done the tour yet, but perhaps when I have some Canadian visitors, we'll make our way to the Rock.
This is Lombard street -otherwise known as the "crookedest street in the world". It is insanely twisted and has gorgeous flowerbeds on either side of it. I've never seen anything like it!
