Scene in San Francisco, part 3

I really didn’t know much about the local area and was just doing my normal random walking around the city. Imagine my surprise when I ran into the most famous street in San Francisco, Lombard Street! It’s known as the “crookedest street in the world” and I walked up it. The title appears quite accurate.

View as I walked up the hill.

I was fortunate enough to spend a week in San Francisco recently for a conference. While were were in sessions most of the time, I did get out to walk in the mornings and one afternoon. This week I’ll be sharing some of that with all of you.

It’s very hilly around where our meeting site was – so hilly that some streets come with steps!

All those hills of course are what mean around every corner you can be treated to a spectacular view:

I guess that’s one of the reasons why it’s so expensive here….
