I Did This and That in San Fran…

What else did I do in San Fran other than going to Yosemite?
I went to my first but Apple’s last MacWorld. Microsoft was there, Google was there, so were the 10 million companies that make iPhone accessories. I hopped onto the Party/Sightseeing/Open bar double decker sponsored by some iPhone app, then I went to the Museum of Modern Art nearby.
I really enjoyed The California Academy of Sciences. It is an all-in-one science world + space centre + aquarium, but it is not a kiddie land like The Exploratorium or The Aquarium of the Bay.
That implies I went to those two places. I did. I stayed with my friend who lives in Marina, which is a really nice neighbourhood. The Exploratorium is only 5-minutes walk away. Right next to it is The Palace of Fine Arts, which I took a picture of at night with my tripod. The Aquarium of the Bay is conveniently located near Fisherman’s Wharf, where I took the ferry to Alcatraz.
Alcatraz Island is a must-go, more so than the Golden Bridge I would say. Don’t miss the audio tour!
I took pictures of the Golden Bridge from where I stayed. I went underneath it while I was on a sightseeing cruise. Then I thought I gotta walk it, so I did.
I ate all these: Kara’s cupcakes, sushi from Yoshi’s, seafood risotto and goat cheese pizza from Emporio Rulli Gran Caffe, In-N-Out Burger, shrimp & crab cocktail and Boston Clam Chowder from Fisherman’s Wharf.
Hmm..that’s about it. If you want to see more, go to the Flickr collection. There were a few places I forgot to take pictures of, maybe I will do that next time.
