A weekend in San Francisco

My sister has rented an apartment for a month in San Francisco. She is working on her Masters and loves this city so has decided to explore and study.

I thought this would be a good opportunity to let her show me why she loves SFO so much. I flew down on Friday Oct 31, 2014 and flew home on Sunday November 2. It was a quick trip but it was fun.

Halloween night should be an interesting time for people watching. M took me to the Castro district (gay area) as it was very close to her apartment. So many costumes, so much to see. We ended up sitting in a Vietnamese restaurant watching the buses go by with every adult on board in costume. We were the only ones in SFO out of costume.

During my only full day there, we took trollies, walked, shopped, and ate. This weekend was a special trolly weekend and all of the old ones ran through the streets for this weekend only.
