Today, I got up 7:15, and I ate free breakfast of the hostel, just bagles, and apple juice, not bad.
First of all, I took a bus to the visitor information center, I didn't pay the bus fee, a driver didn't check. The information center hadn't opened yet, so I tried to buy a day pass, but a ticket counter was also closed...I think it's very slow to start the morning in San Francisco.
Through the introduction of the information center, I booked a tour for Yosemite park. And I checked E-mail, like everyday...am I friend sick?
Then I started travel, first of all I went to Fort Mason, a kind of port. There were a lot of ships on the ocean, and the beach was also beautiful and clean! And such a nice day! Maybe it's usual in California. I walked around the beach, and ate a hotdog and drank lemonade, a bit expensive.
Next, I went to The Golden Gate Bridge, but the color was orange because the name means the bride of Golden Gate. I walked on the bridge for a while, and took some pictures,which were not only for the bridge but also for the view of the ocean. I think San Francisco has very good combination of nature and artificial thing. And I encountered a kind of luck, it's my secret...
Now, I easily can read a map, I've found. It's a big progress for me. I hope it'll be the same in Japan.
Then, I went to Palace of the Legion of Honor, the place my room mate of the first stay recommended me to visit. It's an art musium, and it's said "the most beautiful musium in America" It was certainly beautiful, but I prefer Metropolitan Musium in N.Y. There were a lot of pictures, and the arts of Maya as the special exhibition, which were fairly nice. There was a wedding ceremony outside of the musium, how's that possible?
Finally, I went to Cliff house and Seal Rocks. I ate supper there, also bit too expensive. But the scenery was great, sunset. I'm addicted to the beach, anyway.
