San Francisco Trip 2010 - Golden Gate Bridge

After visiting farmers' market.. together with Mr Li and his friend, we drove our way to San Francisco... to finally view.. GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE.

Some facts on the Golden Gate Bridge on the wikipedia..

The Golden Gate Bridge is a vermillion orange 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, on the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula to Marin County. The Golden Gate Bridge was the longest suspension bridge span in the world when it was completed during the year 1937, and has become one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco, California, and of the United States. Despite its span length being surpassed by eight other bridges since its completion, it still has the second longest suspension bridge main span in the United States, after th Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in New York City. It has been declared one of the modern Wonders of the World by the American Sociey of Civil Engineers. The Frommers travel guide considers the Golden Gate Bridge the "possibly the most beautiful, certainly the most photographed, bridge in the world" (although Frommers also bestows the most photographed honor onTower Bridge in London, England).




Wasn't a really good day to visit the Golden Gate Bridge as it's a foggy day.. With the windy weather, we walked half way thru the bridge and decided to make our way back... to Pier 39 for our seafood lunch! Yippeee

This marks my last day at San Francisco.... Love the place, the sights, the seafood.. and even the culture.
Living in US and living in SG.. seems totally different..

But most of all.. i love their outlet store!

I will definitely make my trip back to USA again...
Wanting to visit, New York, Washington DC, Florida, and many other places...
