The
following day, I briefly visited the Ferry Building and its gourmet marketplace. Prices were on the high side so it was just a
look see look see for me J.
The “Grand
Nave” on the second floor of the building
Next, I took a walk around Chinatown, stopping for a quick visit to the Old St. Mary’s Cathedral, the first Catholic cathedral in San Francisco.

I headed to North Beach next. Originally the Latin Quarter, it is now known as San Francisco’s Little Italy with dozens of Italian restaurants and coffeehouses.
Transamerica Pyramid –
San Francisco’s tallest building
Columbus
Avenue, San Francisco’s answer to New York’s Times Square, complete with strip
clubs and peep shows, interspersed by countless restaurants and clubs
The Washington Square is one of the oldest parks in the city and the Saints Peter and Paul Church, the neighbourhood’s religious centre, is located here.
From here, I climbed the scenic steps of Filbert Street up to the Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill to take in the panoramic views of the city and the bay.
