Lancing Hematoma And Abscess

August 14, 2010

This morning we decided to take the cable car to get to Fisherman Wharf, where there is the famous Pier 39, a renovated old pier and became one of the most famous tourist attractions of San Francisco. Unfortunately the "tram" when we arrive at the terminal does not work and we tourists we are invited to take an alternative mode of transport. We decided to walk to our destination, making some stops along the route.

route is Chinatown and wander through its streets and discovered this lively and colorful neighborhood that looks like a corner of China arrived here since you do not know how.

Proceeding then to the north we come to North Beach, the Italian neighborhood that a little 'disappointed because we reduced to a row of restaurants and bars that have only the name of Italian.

A steep slope allows us to reach "The crookedest Street, the steepest street in the world, characterized by a series of turns designed specifically to reduce the slope and to facilitate the descent of car.

Even this has become a tourist attraction.

In a continuous up and down (do you remember the TV series Starsky and Hutch "on the streets of San Francisco?) Then we get down to the sea, at Pier 39, home to establish a colony of sea lions piled on each other ' else bask in the sun, almost posing to be photographed.

There are many trams running from around the world and discover that Milan has also contributed to the improvement of the transport line with one of his tram.

To return to the hotel we finally take the cable car terminus and then also seeing his change of direction, which is performed by hand on a wooden platform swivel.

The tram goes quickly, prompting cries of the passengers when throwing herself down steep descents.

And thus ends our first day in San Francisco!
