Gay parade in San Francisco

It was about time for me to get to San Francisco and see the famous Golden gate bridge. The weather was on our side the whole time and we had some great time there. Most of my days were filled with endless walking in the streets of the spectacular neighbourhoods. Heh, I didn't even remember my legs could feel so sore and tired but I enjoyed every step.

We stayed close to Union square which is the most common place for budget travellers to stay. The location is great for what ever you do and the square area itself is also a good place to spend hours and hours. On a sunny day you can buy yourself a cup of coffee and get some salad for lunch. I used to relax on the steps of the square and just look at tourists trying to find their way in town and see how the busy looking business people were rushing around with a takeway coffee in hand.

The really fun part of our stay was the gay parade that happened to be in the city. Actually we found out that the parade is going to be there after we made the changes to our travel plans. So, the whole gay parade was just an extra bonus for us and we got some great pictures from the different parades and the people around the city.

Haa!
Onpa teillä matka! Huokailen vain kateellisena näille jutuille ja kuville. Maisemat vaan komistuvat, tuntuu kuin olisitte postikortissa matkanneet.

No onneksi sinakin olet kohta lahdossa postikortti maisemiin. Samalla meikalaisen matka alkaa olla loppusuoralla koska huomenna lennetaan minun viimeiseen matkakohteeseen takaisin USA:n puolelle. Ostin muuten San Franciscosta uuden kameran sen Tongalla sukeltaneen tilalle (vanha kamera ei toipunut sukelluksesta).
