You have family/friends/company visiting San Francisco and you want to show them around town. You want to take them to some interesting spots and some not-so-popular-but-still-awesome places. And you want them to be able to take in the fabulous views of the city.
So I started by taking my friend to the bison paddock in Golden Gate park... skies are gray but clouds are high. Plus, the buffalo are roaming!
Then I drove over to the Golden Gate Bridge and enjoyed the clear blue sky while explaining to my friend that you can't walk across highways in the USA. Oh, mi lindo Peru...
From the Golden Gate Bridge visitor plaza, we could clearly see downtown. "Wow!" I thought. "No fog!"
And then, around 4 in the afternoon, I drove up Twin Peaks so my friend could look down Market Street and see the Bay Bridge. This was a mistake, especially since I started to see the gray and the moisture coming in. But if I get there really fast, we'll still be able to catch a glimpse, right? I mean, aren't these peaks supposed to keep the fog on the west side of the city?
Not only were we engulfed in dense fog at the summit, but it got very cold. I decided to snap this photo of the great gray view from inside the car.
After thinking about it, I decided that it wasn't so bad after all. No San Francisco experience is complete without a little fog, and we've got enough fog to cover all the moors of Scotland. You hear that, Heathcliff?
