Today, 27 October, I, wife Rose and daughter Danna were toured by a close family friend Ms. Marilyn Logan, to the tourist spots of the city such as the famous Golden Gate, the Palace of Fine Arts, Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39 (where we took our lunch at Bubba Gump) on to downtown of San Francisco.
With rolling terrain, San Francisco is very impressive, where I can observe that city developers had simply strike the balance between nature and man-made infrastructures. Birds and fowls in the parks, and a school of sea lion playing around San Francisco Bay, seemed domesticated to the pleasure of sight-seers and park-goers. How I wish we can conserve and develop our Manila Bay like this one.
As San Francisco is our first destination here in mainland USA, I could not conclude whether this is a typical American city. If it is, then now I know why every Filipino seems to dream of coming to USA, a modern promise land ala Canaan of the Old Testament dubbed as the land of milk and honey. Perhaps not only among Filipinos, as San Francisco is observed to be highly cosmopolitan city. (JSF Blogs)
