STAY
Most of the hotels in San Francisco are very expensive, so my husband got an Airbnb close to the airport in San Bruno. Since our flight was departing really early and we didn't want to miss it. There are cons and pros about staying close to the airport. The pros are that it is way cheaper, close to the airport and not too far from the touristic area. Cons are that obviously, airplanes came and go, plus there was a train near our place so there was a lot of noise day and night. But overall our stay was good, the place was clean and safe.
EAT
Our first day in San Francisco we went to Pier 39 and had some clam chowder and lobster at Pier Market. It was really good! The clam chowder comes in a bread bowl. I did not take any pictures. The other place we had lunch at was in China Town Sam Wo. They have been around for about 100 years and their food is everything you expect for! They claim to be the oldest Chinese restaurant in San Francisco! For dinner, we went to a Peruvian restaurant called La Mar. I had not tried ceviche since I went to Peru, a year ago and this place surpassed my expectations. It was fresh and so tasty. I totally recommend this place if you are into Peruvian food. This was by far my favorite restaurant! We also hang at Pier 39 and had some beers in a small bar.

TOUR AROUND & LEARN MORE
Like good tourists, we took the hop on hop off bus! This is the best way to learn more about a place and its history. The bus takes you through 8 of the most iconic landmarks, including Pier 39, Fisherman’s Wharf, Union Square, Palace of Fine Arts, Golden Gate Bridge, Haight Ashbury District, China Tow, and Alamo Square Park, among other. My favorite landmark was the Golden Gate Bridge. It is amazing to see how it was built and the architecture is mesmerizing. It has been declared one of the Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. It is also the most photographed bridge in the world. San Francisco is so beautiful, the eclectic Victorian architect makes this city a charm. The weather is always perfect if you like cool weather. I really enjoyed my visit and hope to go back soon.
