San Fran - a must see city

There is lots to discover in San Francisco. I expected the multiculturalism, the busy thriving streets, the beautiful bay and bridge, the great food, and of course Alcatraz. But, what has made this a wonderful first few days has been what Jenn and I have discovered I didn't expect the beautiful Victorian architecture which adds character and history to this place. The size of the city is surprising - it feels smaller and more manageable then other large American cities. The transit here is fantastic and the streets are full of bikers, runners, and walkers of all ages. Finally, the steepness of the hills in the main part of San Fran is incredible. We have walked up a few hills and you feel the burn in your legs after only a few blocks. Watching cars drive, and amazingly park, on these hills makes us happy to be car free travelers.
