San Francisco
I flew out to California in early August to go to a friend’s wedding and while I was out there I got a chance to see a bit of San Francisco. I’ve been out there a couple of other times in the past several years so it wasn’t all new to me, but I did get to take the ferry from San Francisco to Vallejo (about a one-hour ride) and I dragged myself and my suitcase up to see Coit Tower. The view on the way up was pretty nice so it was worth it, even if it was a bit of a workout with my suitcase in tow!
