Picturesqueness: Touring SanFo in 2 days


Here's a starter, it's best if you have someone to take you around, lucky me I have my dear brother and family near the area.  Obviously you can't cover everything in two days but here's what my friend DJ and I did when we visited San Francisco 08/15/2009 - 08/16/2009.

Day 0
PM: Arrived late night at SFO 

This was before the Delta-NWA merger, we are still working on it during the '09. Thank you Skymiles for the free trip.
Day 1
AM: Golden Gate Vista Points, walked along the bridge and took some pictures.

Runaway pinoys
AM: Lombard Street, walked down then up again, before leaving we took a drive down to experience it in a different perspective.
Crookedest street in San Francisco
PM: Pier 39, Fisherman’s Wharf, had lunch, saw the lazy sea lions, bay views, watched some street shows, shopped till we dropped.  In and out burger, check!

This place smells, hoping it was not Kenneth :P
Consider visiting Alcatraz, we didn’t but you might want to.  I have no details about the tour though.

PM: This is somewhat out of the way but we still visited the Painted Ladies, Victorian houses in San Francisco before going home.

Did you see the ladies?
Went to Jollibee and Gerry’s Grill but ate dinner at Tribu.  These places are already out of the San Francisco area.
