travel north america united states california san francisco around the city
San Francisco was always been one of my favorite big cities... Stacked along the hills... next to the bay... this cosmopolitan and quirky city is always full of surprizes.
In recent years, its sad that it has become harder and harder to over-look the degradation of the city as it turns into a tent commune.
