Bay Bridge!

I have talked a lot about the Golden Gate Bridge, the store that is near the bridge, but this post is about nome of that. For the very first time on this blog, almost one year old (!), I am gonna talk about the Bay Bridge!

The Bay Bridge also known as San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge has one of the longest spans in the world, on 57th position. The Bridge is a part of Interstate 80 and the direct state road route between San Francisco and Oakland, because of that it carries about 280,000 vehicles per day on its two decks! 

The construction began in 1933, the same as the Golden Gate Bridge.However the Bay Bridge was opened in November of 1936, six months before the GGB. The Bay Bridge originally carried automobile traffic of its upper deck and trucks and trains on the lower. However, after the Key System, which provided mass traffic in Oakland, the lower deck was converted to traffic road.

This Bridge is very important for people to go to Yerba Buena Island! I have seen pictures and that place looks amazing!

Learned a little bit more about the Bay Bridge? I hope so!

Golden Gate Bridge!

Is there anything better than check photos of the most internationally recognized symbols of SanFran? Yes, the Golden Gate Bridge is also one of the most important bridges in United States.

During this week I am gonna be tweeting some curiosities of Golden Gate Bridge that you haven't known.

Check the pics out!

Japanese Tea Garden!

Japanese Tea Garden is located in the Golden Gate Park and it such a beautiful place! It is not that big but all plants are beautifully pruned, which in my opinion makes a whole difference. Furthermore, I liked so much the two japanese buildings over there. They have the original japanese architecture!
Another thing that I really liked is the small lakes. I think there are like two small lakes, which combined with the buildings and the plants, characterize the japanese style! It's a very wooded place, which I like so much!
I haven't mentioned the statues of Buda that are in there! There is also a bridge that you can cross and take beautiful pics on the whole garden!!!

The Japanese Tea Garden is free from 9am to 10am every monday, wednesday and friday. More info at http://japaneseteagardensf.com/

Hope you go there and enjoy this beautiful place!

Legion on Honor!

Hi!

I have been to Legion of Honor and it's such a beautiful and amazingly incredible place!! There are beautiful paintings in realistic style. There were a couple of paintings, that were so realistic, that I felt like that images were real. There are many sculptures too, but I am not a big fan of them.

What I most liked is definitely the amazing pairings and the big rooms where they were.

I truly recommend you go there!! It's so worth it; and even if you aren't a big fan of museums, I think you should go.

Here are some pics!!

If I could choose only one museum to go again, I'd choose Legion of Honor surely. I love so much that place!

Transamerica Pyramid!

I remember clearly the day I was hosted right across the street, facing this building. I got curious about this building, because there were people taking pictures of it all the time. Then, I asked one of the guys in the front desk, but he didn't even know why there was always someone taking pictures of that. Some time after, I ended up finding that this is an important building, because several good movies were edited there. 

It made me think of some things, like that guy, who I'd asked about the building. By that time, he worked probably five or six days a week, at that hotel right in front of the Pyramid, and didn't even know what it is. It made me think that sometimes it happens with me too. This kind of situation when you live in a city with a famous bridge, building, store, but you're just too busy that you can't even look around and realize these things. Probably that guy should be working there for a while, but he is so adapted to it that he didn't even get curious to know about the building. 

Anyway, it happens with me all the time too! I remember that when I found it out, I was like "how can he not know about it?! It's right in front of his work." After, I stop to think of some times that it happened with me too! Haha, it's funny the way we see things happening with other people, but if we stop to think, we'll see it's happened with us too! Interesting, huh?!

Have you been in a situation like that?! How was that!?
