Answer 1

Alcatraz,
Alcatraz Island, located in the middle of San Francisco bay, is a must-see attraction for any visitor to the area. One of the most infamous prisons in the country for housing notorious criminals...

Golden Gate Bridge,
Stretching 4,200 feet and towering as high as a 65-story building, this well-known bridge is the gateway to San Francisco.

Chinatown,
This electric neighborhood of 100,000 people is not to be missed, and it's not hard to find: listen for the clack of mahjongg tiles and nose out the salty spicy squid.

Ferry Building Marketplace,
A city landmark transformed into a gourmet food emporium and farmers market.

Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco
Yes, it's tacky, touristy and yucky, if you don't know where to go. But it's where visitors must go, so here are some fun and unique ways to enjoy the Wharf: Parking: avoid the Pier 39 garage...

Coit Tower,
Monument built in honor of the city's volunteer firemen, with an observation deck that provides a great view of San Francisco.

Asian Art Museum,
The museum houses art from more than 40 countries, with an emphasis on Chinese ceramics.

Golden Gate National Recreation Area, San Francisco
The largest urban national park in the world, containing 74,000 acres of land and water.

San Francisco Museum of Modern Art,
The museum itself is a work of art that houses a strong collection and traveling shows.

Haight-Ashbury,
Center of the long-gone hippie culture of the 1960s, this trendy neighborhood is now a whole new scene with upscale boutiques, Internet cafes and hip restaurants.

Legion of Honor, San Francisco
An outstanding collection of European art in a gorgeous hilltop museum setting.

North Beach, San Francisco
Most of this neighborhood's former beatnik charm is retained while adding fine cuisine to its claim to fame.

The Exploratorium,
Unwinding DNA, building a Spectroscope or exploring the brain are some of the many exciting interactive activities people of all ages can enjoy.

Union Square,
A shopper's paradise. It boasts a huge amphitheater, granite pedestals on which street entertainers perform and a tree and flower-lined environment in which to enjoy an espresso or an elegant meal.

Angel Island State Park,
The largest island in San Francisco Bay features magnificent views of Marin County and San Francisco, while offering a wide variety of recreation for outdoor enthusiasts.

Presidio National Park,
A military installation from 1776 until 1994, the Presidio saw duty for Spain, Mexico and the U.S.; it is now a national park with almost 1,500 acres of hiking and biking trails, beautiful beaches and stunning views.

Grace Cathedral,
The largest Gothic structure in the West, the church is famous for its gilded bronze doors created by Lorenzo Ghiberti for the Baptistry in Florence.

Pier 39,
This third most visited attraction in the U.S. is a hive of activity with rides, entertainment, restaurants, shops and lively street entertainers. You can easily hop a ferry across the bay to Alcatraz or Tiburon, but don't miss the celebrated sea lion colony that inhabits the nearby abandoned docks.


And don't forget the Cable Cars !!

I lived there for over 40 years and love it to pieces !

Answer 3

1) Oddly enough, I was also born left-handed. My parents thought that it was the work of the Devil, so they trained me to use my right hand. Now, 20 years later, I can't do anything with my left hand; I have absolutely no coordination and no power in my left hand/arm. 2) I am a computer nerd, with absolutely no knowledge of computers. I spend about, 5/6 of my day on the computer/laptop, and have done so for many many years now... and I still dont know anything about computers. Friends always seem to come to me with computer problems, thinking I would know how to solve them... and the only way I helped any of them, was by telling them to ask someone else. 3) I love Kevin Smith movies. I really liked Clerks, Clerks 2, Mallrats, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Chasing Amy... and especially Dogma. In fact, I enjoyed Chasing Amy and Dogma so much that I actually LIKE Ben Affleck as an actor. 4) I am also a TV-holic. I watch so many TV shows, that whenever someone recommends a show for me to watch, 80% of the time, I already have. However, I spend very little time in front of an actual TV. Unfortunately, living in Canada and not having a satelite dish, I dont get a lot of the American shows I enjoy, and therefore, I download them. It's gotten to be such a habit, however, that even with the shows I can watch on my TV, I just skip and download it later on my computer. 5) I like to give short answers to questions. =)

Answer 4
