San FranciscoSan Francisco is located on the West Coast of the United States at the north end of the San Francisco Peninsula and includes significant stretches of the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay within its boundaries. San Francisco encompasses a land area of about 47 square miles.

Today, San Francisco is one of the top tourist destinations in the world, and is renowned for its cool summers, fog, steep rolling hills, and landmarks including the Golden Gate Bridge, the former prison on Alcatraz Island, and its Chinatown district.

I will tell you a little about some of the things you can see in San Francisco.

Fog:

The fog of San Francisco Bay is a specific type of fog.

San Francisco's fog is created when warm, moist air blows from the central Pacific Ocean across the cold waters of the California Current, which flows just off the coast, creating a cool, moist wind.

San Francisco is called The Naturally Air Conditioned City because of the frequent fogs that roll in from the Pacific Ocean, especially during the summer.

Golden gate:

The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the opening of the San Francisco Bay into the Pacific Ocean. As part of both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1, the structure links the city of San Francisco, on the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula, to Marin County. It is one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco, California, and the United States. And it is certainly the most photographed, bridge in the world
