Cycling around San Francisco
The cycling around San Francisco was nice and fun. The landscape along the trail changed dramatically every thirty minutes.
First, I went through the east coast of San Francisco to the Golden Gate Bridge. I visited Bay Bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf, Cable Cars Turn Tables, Presidio, and Fort Point on the way to the Golden Gate Bridge.
Unfortunately, it was cloudy today. As a matter of fact, that is not only today. I never saw sun after I came here. But it is good for bike traveler. Strong sun beam is an enemy to us.
I started to cross the bridge. When I reached the other end of the bridge, it became sunny suddenly. I looked back and found something very special. San Francisco was floating above the cloud. All other place but San Francisco was sunny. The cloud came from the ocean and continuously supplied white curtain to the city. That’s the trick why it has been cloudy…
On my way back to the accommodation, I visited the east side of the city. It was a hilly place and houses were nice. I passed through a museum on the top of the hill and went down to a sand beach. Next to the beach was the Golden Gate Park. The park was big with a lot of nice wild trees. Finally, the cycling road led me to the today’s last visiting point, Panda Express.
San Francisco is a great city to enjoy cycling. You cannot lose your way because bike roads were well posted. There’s no danger because bike roads were separated from cars by a lane. I love here. I also found extensive bike and hiking trails outside the city. Hopefully, I like to enjoy them.
The log became like a diary of a sightseeing traveler... I’m sorry for that. Tomorrow is the first day of my internship. I am curious what I will find tomorrow at my internship company.
