We made our way to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk first thing in the morning. The colouring on these photos look horrendous but I am sick of editing photos so I've left them as is. I will probably get irritated with myself and regret it though.
It was a very cheery place and it was nice to see a beach boardwalk, seeing as we didn't get to see the one at Santa Monica. We didn't take the rides because we were going to drive down to SF, so we just walked the length of it and left.
Kitesurfers.
On the drive towards SF, we stopped at Pigeon Point Lighthouse because we are tourists and we want to see everything hahaha.
We reach SF! I took a photo of this building because it looked grand and majestic but I don't know what it is. Oops.
It was a bitch climbing up this road.
Lombard Street was a total tourist hot spot and I hated it because there were too many obnoxious tourists. 2/10 would not recommend.
The last stop of the day was the Fisherman's Wharf! The clam chowder was good, but the fried food, not so much. Walked to Pier 39 to see the sealions, met a very friendly dog and its family, and quickly made our way home because the sun was setting. My dad didn't drive and we didn't want to be walking around when it was dark. However, on the way back we passed this family and their youngest daughter gave me the biggest grin ever and it made me so happy! If I did that here people would just give me strange looks. I would too, sadly.
I also saw a guy and his chow chow in a corner shop and it just sat there waiting for the owner. I wish I took a photo of it but I was too slow and when I wanted to the guy walked off :(
I'm writing down a lot of miscellaneous things and forcing myself to upload the photos here because I just don't want to forget what happened on this trip. I can't really remember what happened when I visited California two years ago, and it makes me feel a bit sad, so this time round I thought I should record everything down before I forget!
