San Francisco- 2003 & 2004, Part I
Part II
If
I do settle down in the US any time in the next few years,
I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was to be in San Francisco.
This city is undoubtedly one of my favorite places in the
country-
I finished college here, met friends I'll have for life, and
learned more
about the world on a 49-square-mile peninsula than I ever
thought possible.

101
California Street, the third largest building in San Francisco,
after the Transamerica Pyramid, and the Bank of America
tower. |
This
building was actually the unfortunate scene of a large
office shooting in 1994, when a gunman got in, and killed
11 people in an office rampage. |

The
view from the window of my brother Alex's place, looking
out at Golden Gate Park, and the Pacific Ocean beyond.
The windmill was built in the early 1900's, and hasn't
worked in some time. |
A
shot of San Francisco's Financial District, looking out
from the Transbay Terminal, also known as the bus station. |
|
| |
The
Embarcadero Center, which is made up of four identical
buildings. They just look so incredibly corporate, such
the typical skyscraper, I think. |
|
|
| |
San
Francisco's Ferry Building, which served as the main entry
point to San Francisco before the building of the Golden
Gate & Bay Bridges. The place was almost empty for
many years, but was just renovated this year with a very
upscale shopping center. |
The
historic F Line streetcars, not the Cable Car, but a fleet
of trams from around the country that were brought to
San Francisco, restored, and are one of the city's big
success stories. |

Julian
and the rest of the family came down when I graduated SFSU
in May 2004, and stopped at Fisherman's Wharf, where they
found this guy, a street performer. |

Mordechay, my Israeli-American roommate, an International
Relations major at SFSU, and somewhat to the left politically
of Karl Marx. |
