Today is the 6th day of our trip… it was a day of big change for us. Beautiful architecture of a big city instead the beautiful view of the nature of Yosemite Park, skyscrapers instead of quiet mountain paths.

After packing our bags and leaving the picturesque village of Mariposa we started our journey to San Francisco. On the way, we stopped at a nice place to we could buy tasting delicious fruits from North Californian fields… and we arrived in San Francisco.

We enjoyed the view while crossing the Oakland Bridge and we arrived in the city, where we had time to grab lunch at Pier 39. After we headed to Alcatraz – the famous prison located on an island, also known “THE ROCK”. Alcatraz is also famous for being a place that was impossible to escape.

San Francisco is also known for having the largest Chinatown in the US, where we had dinner.

This day was filled with the nice impressions and makes us already say that San Francisco is AMAZING!

Until tomorrow,
