California // San Francisco last day

 

trams

 

 from all over the world.  

Clams and shrimps. I thought this would be a lonely lunch.

well, it wasn't.

 

that was it, folks!

 lehet hazamenni, pipikéim.

 best place on earth: The Exploratorium.

 

lots of lots of anna in a kaleidoscope

 

 walking home.. who was playing in Golden Gate Park? Sir Paul McCartney. Live and let die. Fireworks. Everything. For what an old guy he is, it was pretty convincing I have to say.

And now Im sitting on the couch, waiting for the shuttle bus to pick me up.

Some more information about SF I couldnt capture in pictures.

- It smells like weed. Everywhere. Like the air is green.

- People say "thank you" to the bus driver when they get off.

- The microclimate also means that the weather changes 4 times while you cross the city. The district I lived in is foggy all the time and it rains every morning. At the Mission district its normal summer weather.

- There are pelicans at the beach. 

- There are really few black people, but lots of asians instead (compared to NY)

- Those steep streets you already heard about.. well they are VERY steep. 

- I walked every day about 12 hours and my feet looks completely different then before. This has nothing to do with SF though.

- They say Frisco is the most european city in the states - I think NY is way more european than SF.

All in all, this is a very interesting place. I didnt feel at home (I dont think I would ever feel at home at a place where there are palm trees), but I could totally imagine living here if I had a family. SF must be fantastic if you are a kid. The mood somehow reminded me of the little street where I grew up.
