THE PACIFIC 2016: ALL WITHIN YOUR REACH 2


EUREKA

June 30 to July 4, 2016

 

Eureka is the California state slogan, which means “I have found it”. California was my second state visited (WoW nag bibilang), but I stayed only at the City of San Francisco. One of the most expensive cities in the world.

 

Noong bata pa ako, sa paaralan, kapag sinabing San Francisco (SFO) ang na-memorya at natandaan ko ay ang “Golden Gate Bridge” at ang “Alcatraz”.

 

I walked on the bridge (na hindi naman pala ginto ang kulay) from the San Francisco County going to the other side, Marin County, for almost an hour then return to SFO for another an hour.

 

Mabilis magbago ang panahon, habang nag lalakad ako biglang mahangin, tapos foggy, biglang maaraw at iinit, ewan ko ang weird.


Golden Gate Bridge

 

But for Alcatraz, I failed to visit the island. Ticket for the Alcatraz tour during my stay were sold out. So, I availed the Boat tour instead, a 1-hour cruises at SFO Bay, which includes viewing SFO skyline, under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz Island.

Viewing Alcatraz Island from Pier 39



GET IN:

From Mexico City, I flew with AERO MEXICO. And from SFO Airport I took the BART-train and subway going to Union Square wherein my hotel is located.

 

GET AROUND:

By Public Transit – metro subway, BART, cable cars, bus and taxi

As a visitor – I explored the city on foot. And since the other famous attractions are not close to each other, I bought ticket of BIG BUS HOP-ON HOP-OFF tours so, that I can visit and see those attractions, especially the night tour.

 

ACCOMMODATION:

Located at the heart of SFO, just a short walk from UNION SQUARE
