San Francisco: More Pictures

As always when you visit a new place there are always a few random pictures that don't really fit into any category but they are too cool not to share with you. I loved every single second that I spent in San Francisco including the time I spent at the conference. I saw some big names in my field (which is amazing) and heard some pretty exciting science that should be coming out soon. 

The Golden Gate Bridge

From above

Trust me, this was the only time I saw the whole bridge!

We drove out to the bridge one afternoon and it was shrouded in fog. I had heard about the fog, but this was intense. You could see all of the city but only the top of bridge was visible. When we drove across the bridge you couldn't really see anything. I would not have enjoyed driving over that, my dad was a champ for doing that. When I flew out the pilot flew over the city and then I saw that bridge! It was pretty, you can't tell from the pic but it was there!

Pillow Fight?

On Valentine's Day apparently there is a giant pillow fight that is announced on twitter the day of. I kept seeing people with pillows, it was strange. But eventually we found the pillow fight, it was insane. I saw lots of people beating each other with pillows and feathers were everywhere, I mean everywhere. Also, on the way back to the trolly I saw that most of the homeless people had new pillows.

Chinatown

We stopped on the trolly in Chinatown. It was so cool. It was decorated for the Chinese New Year, which was the next day. I wish we had more time to actually shop but we just walked through it and then back to the trolly.

The Parade for New Years

Alcatraz

The last pic I have for you is Alactraz. We didn't go out to the Island, my dad had already been and neither my mom or I was super excited about seeing it. I decided that since it would take up so much of our limited time in San Francisco we would pass on this one. I would like to see it at some point but it was neat to see it from a far.

I am sure there are more pics but these are the best of the best. I loved seeing all of these things and wish we had more time to spend in the city but I love that there is still more to see when I finally get back to see San Francisco!
