Spring Break

         That was my first spring break in America. Therefore, I had planned with my family already where and how we spend it. Fortunately, my daughter's vacation coincided with our vacation.This helped us easily to choose the appropriate place to relax and enjoy. We decided to go to the charming city which San Francisco.
        Our journey began on Friday afternoon by car. The road to San Francisco was quite interesting. We saw many of the farms along the way. Additionally, cows, sheep and horses spread everywhere, and many of wind turbine that on the top of the mountains green. When we arrived there, we went directly to the hotel.
       On Saturday morning, we started to explore the beautiful city and seeing Golden Gate Bridge. Although, the rain didn't stop throughout that day and clouds filled the sky and covered the bridge, yet we were happy and enjoying by the atmosphere. We crossed the bridge to Sausalito. The houses were amazing there. Also, we went to Fisherman's Wharf. It was crowded and lively. Then we went by boat around the bridge and Alcatraz Island which was scary for me. I was introduced to the island's history and I saw prisons and pictures of criminals.
         I went to China Town, Golden Gate Park that was extremely large and there was Japanese Tea Garden. Jasmine tea was a great experience for us there. Also, we saw sea lions in Pier 39 and Lombard Street which unique in its design, and it was so crowded with people and cars. A lot of people stop their cars and preferred to walk and take pictures. I will never forget Union Square, which was a favorite place for me at all.
       Ultimately, trip ended and there are some places I couldn't had. However, we spent a great five days there and we took many of pictures. It is a fascinating city will always remain in the memory.
