Went to see San Francisco today , courtesy a colleague. He showed us around. We visited
- Bay Bridge
- Golden Gate
- Twin peaks
- ATT Stadium from outside
* Bay Bridge - Nice construction of the bridge and the market below was good time pass. It was quite pleasant to walk along the sea lanes. We sat there on benches near the sea.It was a nice day with nice breeze. Lots of people were jogging as day was good....Seeing the wax museum too was a good experience so was walking around in the market in that area. Had pizza there as lunch...most shops serve see food for obvious reasons.
* Golden Gate - What a marvel !!! A proof of engineering excellence and great human imagination. Constructed over pacific ocean. Total length of cable(steel) used is 80,000 miles. The construction was amazing and engineering design was fabulous. Its construction started in 1933 and finished in 1937. The engineers, contractor etc names were written on the stone wall there. Can we imagine such project in India? Still a long way to go...
* Twin peaks - The scenery of SF from twin peaks at night was breath taking. I had not expected much from it as we see city lightings from some hill at many places in India..but this was quite a sight. I am glad that I went there. It had gotten bit cold at night and with sea nearby winds were colder but 40-45 minutes spent will remain memorable...
All in all a good day..saw good places..lots of desis everywhere...and had a good time..thanks to colleague ..Deven....at US HQ of the company...
