Preciosa ciudad. Tan retratada en las películas de Harry el Sucio :D

Ni un toldo, apenas balcones, que aseada y ordenada se ve¡¡¡

Gracias.

Espectaculares imagenes!!! San Francisco es sin lugar a dudas una de las ciudades mas bellas e interesantes del continente americano...y no solo por su arquitectura, sino tambien gracias a su peculiar caracter.

Impresionante, una de las ciudades en las que no me habría importado haber nacido......

Es una ciudad a la que no me importaría en absoluto irme a vivir dentro de unos años.

@Ace, lo tuyo con los toldos es obsesivo :D


@Fredcalif: muchas gracias por las fotos! SF me encanta :)

que pasada de ciudad!! siempre me ha gustado san francisco con sus peculires y pintorescas cuestas al lado de los rascacielos, y por supuesto el bello golden gate.
en cambio esta foto solo verla me da escalofrios!!! :ohno:
imaginaos vivir en una casa de esas todas toditas iguales con todas las calles iguales, menuda monotonia, a mi me daria hasta claustrofobia!!
http://img47.exs.cx/img47/4740/goldengatepark2.jpg

Para mí una de las ciudades más bellas de América del Norte, si no la más

Me alegro que les haya gustado. las fotos
Casi a todo mundo le gusta esa ciudad. Yo conozco todo norte America
Y San Francisco es la mejor no me cabe duda

Te he pillado algunas fotos que son buenisimas,con tu permiso.

es mi ciudad preferida de USA sin haber estado nunca, no me importaria vivir alli unos años...

Tiene buena pinta. Ese "central park" me gusta que sea tan grande. El aeropuerto me gusta encajonado y con todas las terminales conectadas.

Yo pasé allí una semana hace unos años y es recomendabilísima. No es una ciudad nada uniforme, hay muchos barrios muy distintos unos de otros, con zonas realmente agradables para vivir como el Marina District, el barrio donde nació el hippismo, Haight-Ashbury, Mission, etc. Si hubo algo que me defraudara, fíjate tú que fue Castro.

impresionantes imágenes!
cuan diferentes son las ciudades americanas y las europeas!

Hace menos de diez dias estaba alli, fredcalif... de hecho algunas de las fotos las he hecho yo :D

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=139397

Tengo alguna foto buena mas, sobre desde la Coit Tower, pero ni tiempoe he tenido de poner mas. Precioso SF.

Una pregunta, a que es debido tal cantidad de vagabundos?

Mira Alen donde se nos había metido!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://img47.exs.cx/img47/6075/SFDENSITY.jpg
Coñe!! Sí es el hotel donde estuve este verano! :D :D

@Ace, lo tuyo con los toldos es obsesivo :D




Estoy pensando en fundar una asociación "anti-toldo" , necesito un representante/delegado en Barcelona, por si te interesa :D


e broma

Ace obsesivo con toldos y yo obsesivo con ropa tendida en las galerías o ventanas que dan a la calle grrrrrrr qué horrorrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Creo que es una de las ciudades norteamericanas que más me gustan....sobretodo esas casitas tipo "embrujadas" :D

Estoy pensando en fundar una asociación "anti-toldo" , necesito un representante/delegado en Barcelona, por si te interesa :D


e broma
como que broma? yo me apunto, que en Barcelona y alrededores los innumerables toldos que desafían al buen gusto pueblan hasta la más recóndita calle y hasta el más escondido edificio :D

que envidia de infrastructura

Esta área incluye grandes ciudades como San José, San Francisco y Oakland, junto con áreas urbanas y rurales más pequeñas. En su totalidad, el Área de la Bahía consiste en nueve condados, 101 ciudades y 7.000 mi². También, es una de las regiones más ricas de los Estados Unidos, según la Oficina del Censo de los Estados Unidos. El área tiene los ingresos domésticos medios más altos de la nación con más de 65.000 dólares. El Área de la Bahía contiene muchas ciudades, pueblos, bases militares, aeropuertos, parques nacionales, estatales y regionales, unidos por una red masiva de carreteras, autopistas, ferrocarriles, puentes, túneles y trenes de cercanía.

La bandera de la ciudad: Oro en Paz. Fierro en Guerra. Para el ser humano, el Fénix ha sido un símbolo del renacimiento físico y espiritual, del poder del fuego, de la purificación, el principio femenino chino o yin y la inmortalidad. Este animal renace de sus cenizas demostrando su fuerza interior. [Muy mola, eh?] :lol:

Y mi ciudad de San Francisco tiene un sinnúmero de atracciones, desde la Puente Dorada hasta la isla de Alcatraz. La mezcla de diversas razas y culturas, la ciudad es un mundo por descubrir...Y vale la pena conocerlo. :)

Desde San Francisco con amor (fotos del mío). :wink2:

Epicentro de la gran inmigración china que en el siglo XIX hizo un aporte enorme al desarrollo y la leyenda del Lejano Oeste, sus 24 manzanas cuadradas cobijan a la segunda mayor comunidad china fuera de Asia. Empezaremos la visita por el Puente del Dragón, la foto que nadie deja de tomar, un arco típico donado por la República Popular China ubicado en la esquina de las calles Bush y Grant.

Una recomendación es visitarlo durante la celebración del Año Nuevo chino, a finales de enero, porque allí se aprecian hermosos desfiles y fuegos artificiales. Aunque no es precisamente la zona más glamorosa; el barrio es también un lugar ideal para cenar y para caminar luego hasta el vecino North Beach, repleto de restaurantes y cafés italianos, bares y clubes de música en vivo.

En la Calle Grant con Calle California, fue uno de los pocos edificios de San Francisco que sobrevivieron al incendio de 1906, y contiene una buena colección de fotografías de los daños que sufrió la ciudad en la entrada de la bella iglesia.

Uno de los transportes públicos preferidos, y además otra de las atracciones turísticas, tienen la particularidad de que en ellos las personas van paradas y agarradas de sus estribos, recorriendo las empinadas calles con un excelente panorama de sus principales lugares, ideales para registrarlos en fotos. Son tres las líneas que operan: Calles Powell-Mason, Calles Powell-Hyde y Calle California.

Excelente serie de reportajes! se ve una ciudad fabulosa, espero el resto del AM, especialmente zonas rurales. Yo tengo que visitar la ciudad a finales de julio, creo que me encantará!

Me encanta San Francisco, de escoger otra ciudad californiana para vivir, escogería SF sin duda. Por cierto, no pongas fotos con copyright de flickr que no se ven.

El Museo Judío Contemporáneo de San Francisco está dedicado a resaltar el aporte de la comunidad judía en el desarrollo de las artes, cultura y pensamiento universal. Es una mezcla entre lo antiguo y lo moderno.

No hay playa en North beach, ya que esta desapareció poco después de la fiebre del oroñ ahora sólo es uno de los barrios más antiguos y agradables de San Francisco. Las pizzerías, cafeterías aromáticas y banderas tricolores en las farolas, la proclaman como la Pequeña Italia.

El barrio japonés (http://japantownparking.com/)

No es tan conocido como el barrio chino, pero la comunidad japonesa también tiene su lugar en San Francisco. La comunidad japonesa conserva su orgullo, sus tradiciones, su arquitectura y en definitiva unas raíces orientales que se respiran por sus calles. Su centro neurálgico es el Japan Center, un centro comercial inaugurado en 1968 con restaurantes japoneses, una pagoda de cinco plantas y tiendas. Hasta los baños y masajes japoneses tienen su espacio en este barrio peculiar, con varios lugares y spas donde también se practica la reflexología tradicional. Y, cómo no, la gastronomía nipona y la artesanía típica no puede faltar, con múltiples restaurantes y tiendas en las que podemos encontrar desde kimonos a flores japonesas.

Un paseo imprescindible para conocer un San Francisco diferente.

Los murales de la Torre Coit en San Francisco

dPjaLqotxJA&feature=channel_page

Coit Tower es un icono en el horizonte de San Francisco, una colina de coronacion del telegrafo de la torre. La torre fue construida en 1933 como monumento a los combatientes del incendio en San Francisco que lucharon durante el terremoto en 1906. Alguna gente dice que la torre parece el inyector en una manguera de fuego.

Alrededor de 48,000 se construyeron desde 1849 y 1915 en San Francisco en el estilo Victoriano, muchas de ellas fueron destruidas por el terremoto y fuego de 1906. Cuando la Reina Victoria falleció comenzaron a pintarse en colores vivos como rojos, amarillos, chocolate, anaranjado. Algunos historiadores los llaman colores policromados. Durante la 1ª. & 2ª. guerra mundial las casas se pintaron con gris oscuro usando la pintura que sobraba de los barcos de guerra. Es esa época se perdieron 16,000 casa mas.

Ya he vuelto de San Francisco (y la costa oeste), es una ciudad que me ha gustado, recuerda un poco a Barcelona. La niebla de verano es terrible, hace un frío que cala en los huesos, Alcatraz es de lo más interesante que ofrece la ciudad, merece la pena y si hay suerte, tener vistas del skyline. Chinatown y el barrio italiano en North Beach, aunque más pequeños que en NYC, tienen su encanto. El barrio de Japantown (donde tenía el hotel) de lo más completito con su centro comercial de cosas japonesas.

Ya llegarán las fotos :D

^^ Yippee! Jaja, sí. No me gusta el verano de hoy. Estuve en Union Square el lunes pasado y parece un día en noviembre (gris, niebla y todo). :lol: Fotos ya! :D

Los dos fotos son desde mi móvil.

El término Generación Beat (en inglés Beat Generation) se refiere a un grupo de escritores estadounidenses de la década de los cincuenta, así como al fenómeno cultural sobre el cual escribieron. Algunos elementos definitorios son el rechazo a los valores estadounidenses clásicos, el uso de drogas, una gran libertad sexual y el estudio de la filosofía oriental.

Sus principales obras literarias son Howl de Allen Ginsberg (1956), En el camino de Jack Kerouac (1957) y Almuerzo desnudo de William S. Burroughs (1959). Su estética fue absorbida por la cultura de masas y por la clase media hacia finales de los años cincuenta y principios de los sesenta. En el camino, por ejemplo, se convirtió en una obra de culto de la juventud.

Su canto a la liberación espiritual derivó hacia una liberación sexual que hizo de catalizador en los movimientos de liberación de la mujer y de los negros, e indirectamente de los homosexuales. También influyó a un gran número de personajes de la cultura americana, en especial a músicos como Bob Dylan, Jim Morrison y Patti Smith.

Geniales las fotos :yes:

^^ De nada tío. ;)

Leaving the Hayes neighborhood, you will see the following neighborhoods: Marina, Ocean Beach, Palace of Fine Arts, Civic Center and the Proposition 8 Protest, Russian Hill, North Beach and the views from Coit Tower.

Nothing like a sunny 78 degree day in the city!

The Marina area is bounded to the east by Van Ness Ave, on the west by Lyon Street and the Presidio, on the south by Lombard St. The neighborhood sits on the site of the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition, staged after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake to celebrate the reemergence of the city. The grounds for this world's fair were created from a former lagoon on landfill. Aside from the Palace of Fine Arts (POFA), all other buildings were demolished to make a residential neighborhood.

Much of the Marina is on landfill, and is susceptible to liquefaction during strong earthquakes. It should be noted that several people were killed during the Loma Prieta earthquake due to collapsing residential structures in 1989.
A three-block by three-block area is referred to as the Gold Box because of its prime location on sandstone/bedrock geology (as opposed to landfill). It is bordered by Fort Mason, Octavia St, Lombard St, and Van Ness Avenue. Those who live in this area are equidistant from the shops and restaurants of Chestnut St. (Marina), Union St. (Cow Hollow), and Polk St. (Russian Hill). Furthermore, this location is close to Fort Mason, Moscone Recreation Center, and The Marina Safeway.

Ocean Beach is a beach that runs along the west coast of San Francisco at the Pacific Ocean. It is adjacent to Golden Gate Park, the Richmond District and the Sunset District. The Great Highway runs alongside of the beach, and the Cliff House and the site of the former Sutro Baths sits at the northern end. The beach is a part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and operated by the National Park Service.

The beach throughout the late spring and summer is almost always enveloped in San Francisco's characteristic foggy weather leaving average temperatures there at 50 - 55 °F (9 - 12 °C), thus scaring away many tourists and beach goers. Conversely, the beach is popular with surfers, campers and bonfire parties. More beach-friendly weather occurs in late fall and early spring, when the fog dissipates. However, this beach creature didn't have the friendliest of looks for me and my camera.

The Cliff House is a restaurant perched on the headlands on the cliffs just north of Ocean Beach. I ate there during this visit and the food was enjoyable as always, pricy but good. The Cliff House has had five major incarnations since it was opened in 1858. Sadly, the 1896 seven story Victorian Chateau built by Adolph Sutro did not survive for it was beautiful and regal, at least that is what I take from photos of it. The Cliff House and Sutro Baths survived the 1906 earthquake with little damage but burned to the ground on the evening of September 7, 1907. Rebuilding of the restaurant was completed within two years and, with additions and modern restorations, is the one seen today.

The Palace of Fine Arts in the Marina District is a building originally constructed for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition. It was designed by Bernard Maybeck, who took his inspiration from Roman and Greek architecture. The sculptured frieze and allegorical figures representing Contemplation, Wonderment and Meditation were created by Ulric Ellerhusen. A single dome remains from the eight identical structures that were originally constructed. Towering colonnaded walkways linked the buildings on the site, but only a few remain intact. When I was there, there was significant renovations being done, good to see!

Massive homes to fit the neighborhood, but money in this city talks and between the Marina and the Sea Cliff areas, the residents have been able to keep the possibility of housing development in the Presidio under their control.

What more could a tourist ask for, perfect weather, incredible architecture and a good old San Franciscan protest! Politics in this city are not taken lightly, rather with much interest and passion. I share these pics not for political perspective, but instead to share what was part of city life during my visit.

The Asian Art Museum of San Francisco has one of the most comprehensive collections of Asian art in the world. Until recently housed at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park, the Asian Art Museum re-opened on March 20, 2003 in the former San Francisco city library building opposite the San Francisco Civic Center, renovated for the purpose under the direction of Italian architect Gae Aulenti. The collection has approximately 17,000 works of art and artifacts from all major Asian countries and traditions, some of which are as much as 6,000 years old. There are 2,500 works on display in the permanent collection.

The museum owes its origin to a donation to the city of San Francisco by Chicago millionaire Avery Brundage, who was a major collector of Asian art. The Society for Asian Art, incorporated in 1958, was the group that formed specifically to gain Avery Brundage's collection. The museum opened in 1966 as a wing of the M. H. de Young Memorial Museum in Golden Gate Park. Brundage continued to make donations to the museum, including the bequest of all his remaining personal art collection on his death in 1975.

In total, Brundage donated more than 7,700 Asian art objects to San Francisco, i.e. just over half the museum's current collection. In 1995, Silicon Valley entrepreneur Chong-Moon Lee made a $15 million donation to launch the funding campaign for a new building for the museum.

The City Hall of San Francisco, California, opened in 1915, in its open space area in the city's Civic Center, is a Beaux-Arts monument. The structure's dome is the fifth largest in the world. The present building is actually a replacement for an earlier City Hall that was completely destroyed during the 1906 Earthquake. The architect was Arthur Brown Jr whose attention to the finishing details extended to the doorknobs and the typeface to be used in signage. Brown also designed San Francisco's War Memorial Opera House, Veterans Building, Temple Emanuel, Coit Tower and the Federal office building at 50 United Nations Plaza.

The War Memorial Opera House is located on the western side of Van Ness Avenue across from the rear facade of City Hall. The house has 3,146 seats plus 200 standing room places. (Hint for opera fans – I show up the night of the show and tell them I want to stand and tickets are like $10.00 or $15.00.) Completed in 1932, it is one of the last Beaux-Arts structures erected in the United States and employs the classic Roman Doric order in a reserved and sober form appropriate to its function commemorating all those who served in World War I. The inside is much far more festive and grand, but like all the structures in the area during a protest, they are closed for safe keeping. Thus, I could not get any shots of the interior of any of them.

North Beach is a neighborhood in the northeast of San Francisco adjacent to Chinatown and Fisherman's Wharf. It has a primarily Italian flavor. North Beach is sheltered from ocean breezes by Russian Hill to the west and often enjoys sunny days when much of the city is shrouded in fog. The somewhat compact layout of the neighborhood consists of three-story buildings painted in light colors dating from the 1920s, when people rebuilt after the earthquake and fire of 1906.

Coit Tower was built atop Telegraph Hill in 1933 at the bequest of Lillie Hitchcock Coit to beautify the City of San Francisco. Lillie bequeathed one-third of her estate to the City of San Francisco "to be expended in an appropriate manner for the purpose of adding to the beauty of the city which I have always loved". Contrary to popular opinion, the tower was not designed to resemble a fire hose nozzle. This belief persists in part because of Lillie Hitchcock Coit's affinity with the San Francisco fire fighters of the day. The art deco tower, 210 feet (64 m) of unpainted reinforced concrete, was designed by architects Arthur Brown, Jr. and Henry Howard with murals by 26 different artists and numerous assistants.

A lot of development on the hill across from Alcatraz – I have not been over there but can see it with this lens.

Next thread will start with Saints Peter and Paul Church. Located (somewhat ironically) at 666 Filbert Street, it is directly across from Washington Square, San Francisco and is administered by the Salesians of Don Bosco. It is known as "La cattredale d'Italia ovest," or "The Italian Cathedral of the West." This building is very unusual in that the parish school is situated atop the church itself, around its clerestory level and is accessible from stairways under each of its twin towers. Because of this feature, the church's upper stained-glass windows are artificially-lit. After their civil ceremony in 1954, Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio returned for photographs on the steps of this church.

I should point out how great the public transportation is in SF. So many options! So easy to get around. Didn't even think about using a car.

P.D.

La isla comenzó siendo una prisión militar. Durante la Guerra Civil (1861-1865), soldados condenados por deserción, robo, asalto, violación y asesinato, y ciudadanos acusados de traición fueron encarcelados aquí. Durante la década de los 30 (La Gran Depresión), la isla fue elegida como correccional de máxima securidad para criminales de gran notoriedad, y en 1934 se convirtió en una penitenciaría federal.

Sin duda alguna el prisionero más famoso de Alcatraz fue Al "Caracortada" Capone, encarcelado por evasión de impuestos; otros nombres famosos fueron Alvin "Espeluznante" Karpis (secuestrador y atracador de bancos), George "Metralleta" Kelly (secuestrador) y Robert Stroud "El Hombre Pájaro de Alcatraz" (homicida y asesino) y Meyer "Mickey" Cohen (chantajista mafioso), casi todos de ellos hechos famosos por la máquina cinematográfica de Hollywood. Una de las películas más famosas fue "Fuga de Alcatraz" (1979), que contaba la historia de Frank Morris (representado por Clint Eastwood) y los hermanos John y Clarence Anglin. En 1962, y tras excavar túneles desde sus celdas con una cuchara, escaparon de la prisión utilizando los conductos de aire y se echaron al agua, en dirección a San Francisco. Aunque sus cuerpos nunca fueron encontrados, se cree que murieron ahogados.

Debido a los crecientes gastos operacionales y de mantenimiento, el Procurador General Robert F. Kennedy cerró Alcatraz un año más tarde, en 1963. Los prisioneros fueron trasladados a otras cárceles del país, y esto puso fín a la historia de Alcatraz como prisión.

Amo mi ciudad! :)

Historia de un visitante y muy triste pero tan real como la vida. :wink2:

Let me just preface this by saying that it's been hard for me to even show off these pictures. Not because of the pictures they contain, but what's contained behind the frame of reference.

I had no idea what to expect in San Francisco partially because I never let myself imagine - but I knew the moment I landed into SFO that I should have booked a one-way flight instead of wedging such a huge, undiscovered city into 2 and a half days. I was already regretting this tactical error the moment I heard the automated voice announcing the next BART train. After all, this was my last large unvisited city in America - I had been to the general Bay Area for work, but as you probably know, they are separate entities in many ways.

I have not been the same since - I am in Austin now and I am thoroughly depressed, perhaps the most depressed in my adult life. I have to convince myself, convince myself hard and long and plead with myself, to get out of bed instead of sleep in. I sleep for 14 hours a time here. And I realized I won't be the same until I get to be in a city, where I belong. I will die, I will either kill myself or cease to be myself, unless I am in a large city. I have grown unable to exist without human proportions surrounding me, and I say that with all seriousness. I am 45-50 minutes walk from the nearest store; I am 2 hours walk from the nearest bus stop. I haven't left the house for days. I get apprehensive looks and stares for simply walking in the neighborhood. This makes the fantastic time in San Francisco painful to even look back on. This makes Texas out to be what it is; a place where you can't survive without a car. I am miserable here. I am so miserable I am considering becoming homeless just so I can be back in a big city. I will last a few months here.

Which makes San Francisco so hard so swallow right now - I had never considered it for much of anything, which seems odd considering its prominence. I never let myself consider it because it was too obvious, it was the place where Mrs. Madrigal and Tales of the City took place, it was the place where gay people went because they needed to be gayer, it was this museum or monument in a seemingly quirky, impossible location, it was the place where people bitched about the things I thought were perks, like fog and cool temperatures, and worshiped the endless monotony of Victoriana.

My first experience of the city was coming up from the 24th Mission BART stop, and immediately I realized that there was a reason people keep on propping up this unlikely location, a seaport that should have been built down in San Jose where the land is flat, a place that you would have expected golf courses or a large national park, but certainly not a city.

Everyone was so absolutely nice, with no sense of entitlement or motive, I was welcome. I was not a tourist, I was assumed to be a local. I was asked directions. I was taken back by the way that others assumed I was part of their home. It made me believe for about 24 hours that I was, whether it was at Muddy Waters or in front of that Borg ship of a Civic Center.

I was no longer apprehensive about my sexuality, for I was one of many different kinds of gay people, I wasn't even on guard when people looked at me as I walked down the street, directly and in the eye, the opposite of Texas or Seattle. I felt at ease for the first time in years, to be honest.

I am at a sad place in my life right now, so I felt all the more at home with the cheerful painted ladies, which are oddly garish and upbeat for a city that is a sad reminder of AIDS. People warned me I would hate San Francisco, because it's so gay and it's full of so many homeless people, and it's so painted-on and postured, but I felt that it was the most down to earth, genuine place, where people accept the fate of being gay or being in a subtropical, sunny, frost-free locale, where beauty is simply everywhere.

And the hardest part is that there is a person involved in all of this, a person other than me of course. I met a special someone for the first time; he and I had been conversing off and on for 3 years on the internet. He was everything I had imagined, all of the things I scolded myself for imagining, the things you hope are true but you don't let yourself believe out of rationality.

The way he loved his city and the way he walked so fast to show me every neighborhood he could cover on foot was beautiful to watch. When I resisted the Castro, he brought me to the Castro, and showed me that it was just a few blocks and was as harmless as can be. It was so much less faggy and garish and full of so much less skeezy old men than I would have ever let myself believe; it was actually nice.

After holding onto him for a few hours in Dolores Park, after doing that thing where you know you have to say goodbye but you hold on for just a little longer, after kissing and then pulling away and then bringing your body's weight back forward, I was alone. His meds were not taking as soon as he had hoped and he was really, really tired. I could tell that he was doing this for me, and had I not shown up, he would have been in bed, asleep or convalescing.

I was alone on Valencia Street now and nowhere near tired. I was so mad at myself for denying myself the experience of this great city that I stayed up all night, well into the morning, walking around the neighborhoods, wishing to god that he was strong enough to be there with me. I went back to Castro and slipped into an anonymous bar to use the bathroom. I was one of 5 people on a Monday night, but I was welcomed. I was talked to like an adult, an adult regardless of my penis or my looks or my age, and my beer was refilled. I was treated like I'd always wanted to be treated, as a gay person, from out of town, with respect.

I got lost on my way back to Bernal Heights, where I was staying, and I was finally getting tired too, as it was 4AM and my flight left the next afternoon (in San Jose, no less.) So I paused and sat in the middle of the park, cried my eyes out even though it was pouring rain, and looked up as a policeman came walking towards me.

I had walked the circle around Holly Park three times now and couldn't find how to get to Jarboe. I was so upset with myself over being lost in the first place, as I am NEVER lost, not in any city in the world, for I have worshipped maps and street signs since I was old enough to read. I was upset at myself over letting myself love a stranger, a stranger who is almost homeless but most certainly had more of a home in this city than I did in any location.

"This park closes at 10PM", the Asian police officer informed me. I said nothing, stood up, looked down the hill, and tried to gain my composure. "Are you okay?" he asked.

"No," was all I could say, and I started to clinch my teeth in fear. I was hopeful that the rain had washed away any residue of drugs or tears that were certainly all over me. "I can't find Jarboe," was all I could do to explain myself. Wearing a silly orange sweater and with my hair completely soaked, but with nice shoes and a middle-class face, he must have seen that I wasn't homeless and relented from the rules. But I knew that the moment I set foot in Texas, I would be homeless.

"I'll take you home," he said, and as I climbed into the front seat of another stranger's car, I failed to correct him, as it was not my home, but I wanted it to be. After a stilted conversation and a few lies about jetlag and bars closing at 4AM in New York vs. California, I was let off at the street corner. Bernal Heights was so calm, so still, that I turned down Jarboe and went back to Cortland, and just sat underneath the Muni bus shelter and stared out at the Bay beyond. I was wet and muddy but I didn't want the night to end.

It's all I can do now to get myself back to that park. I would choose to be homeless in that park rather than have a roof over my head in Cedar Park, Texas. Am I nuts? I must get back.

San Francisco is my favorite North American city. I always love visiting this beautiful city. The weather was picture perfect.

Cada año cerca de 8 millones de personas visitan el Valle de Napa, convirtiéndolo en una de las más populares atracciones turísticas de California, después de Disneylandia.
