However, I feel a duty to make the record of our last day, just to complete our diary, we have always kept up to date daily.
's to you!
August 14, 2010
Last Day in San Francisco and last day of our vacation!
decide to visit the Haight Ashbury, the neighborhood's legendary Summer of Love, where certain habits seem to have remained unchanged.
still many hippies live here, and also several homeless people who live and sleep along the road.
arrive too early, the shops are closed and the district seems still asleep, so we just take the path leading up to the Golden Gate Park, where we take the bus that takes us to the Golden Gate Bridge.
After taking some pictures we decided to walk along it, of course, all the way (6 km return).
While we're on the bridge the fog clears, the sun peeps through the clouds and the distance we can see the "downtown" San Francisco, with its skyscrapers, the Bay Bridge and Alcatraz.
then return in the area of \u200b\u200bUnion Square where we make a trip to Macy's. A contract of 76 years of Italian origin (but when they retire here?) Recognizes our language and attack button with us. Turns out that even here, as in Italy, the climate is getting a bit 'crazy and the cold of these days it is quite unusual.
spend the evening by spending the last dollars in a restaurant, to conclude the holiday, we decided to eat "American" with a hearty steak.
Even San Francisco, New York, we liked.
E 'a city open, extravagant, eccentric and uninhibited, where reality sometimes seems to mix with fantasy. Turn down its streets is like being in places already known, thanks to the full immersion of films and TV series to which we have always submitted.
Its inhabitants, like all Americans, were a pleasant surprise for us: communicative, helpful, nonconformists and correct. Even knowing that there are other aspects of this society that leave much to be desired, we're leaving satisfied for the welcome they received, the experiences and feelings.
Bye bye America!
