Around San Francisco in 4 hours

I had to be ready in 10 minutes. Whoever said shopping is fun is not lying but it is also exhausting. I wanted to sleep in and write about Fresco in my Blog but I just had to go to the tour. I didn’t feel like I wanted a tour around San Francisco and four hours is too much for an impatient individual like myself. I ended up going on the tour and it was worth every single second and every single dollar. I wholeheartedly believe that the tour is designed to make you want to live in San Francisco. It makes you love the city and makes every other American or global city boring. It’s the city they should show people applying for a green card. It's the city you should visit on your honeymoon. It’s the city you should grow old, have children and spend your summer in. It’s the city you should visit before you die.
Our tour guide was called Sergio, a Brazilian of Italian descent. He was proud of being Brazilian but at the same time, kept some of his Italian heritage and learned his language. He lived here for 10 years and he knew the city like the back of his hand.
The tour covered museums, famous streets, the beautiful painted ladies, Union Square, the Japanese tea garden and many more. Like I expected, Fresco is a very intellectual artistic city. It is home to many diverse museums. The museums represent the different cultures in the city for example: - The Asian Arts museum.

Travelling while ladies is very difficult. Although our car was big, it took us a long time to figure out where to put all our luggage. When we left San Francisco, I realized that I truely left my heart in San Francisco.
