San Francisco: Presidio, Fisherman's Wharf and Golden Gate Bridge

This was my first trip to San Francisco driving. Other times I have been there, I took the train and Uber to get around, but this time I had a companion who took some pictures of me.

I did some initial research on parking, and given that our primary destination was Golden Gate Bridge, I decided to park in Presidio for only $8.50 per day - a steal compared to parking garages outside the park. We walked to the Golden Gate Bridge - only half an hour away - and took some windy pictures.

We then headed back towards the city to have lunch, but on the way stopped by the Wave Organ. Unfortunately, we could not hear any sounds, but we also did not look at the tide schedule, so maybe you have a better luck.

The trail/path by the water is quite busy, but I guess this is a big city. We ended up having lunch at cultivar, a new trendy wine place. I was not too thrilled, but food was decent:

Right after the restaurant we were ready for dinner. Yes, cultivar's tapa plates were ridiculously small, so we started thinking about the next place to eat while sitting at the restaurant. Weird, huh?

The next restaurant was Scoma's, certainly better than the first one, but super expensive

This pasta dish was the cheapest I could find... $29

After dinner we planned to get some dessert, but just ended up walking back to Presidio.

On the way there, we stopped at the famous Lombard Street and kind of felt bad for the residents. There were so many people taking pictures and blocking the traffic, I am not sure how anyone can live there...

San Francisco's streets can't stop surprising me. The incline is so steep on some of them that you wonder how cars don't just start rolling over.

The sun was setting, so it got really pretty outside. And certainly can't say anything negative about 70 Degree temperature compared to over 100 in Fresno.
