San Francisco Part 4 – North Beach

By in Travel

Landmark The Coit Tower (a close-up) is a mediterrean style white tower on top of Telegraph Hill, built in the 30s. It has a 360 degree observation view of the city up at the top. The view up the hill ain’t that great…so we didn’t go all the way up as there’s a long line. […]

San Francisco Part 2 – China Town

By in Travel
