Mitch wanted to visit Coit Tower...and at first I was hesitant. I wasn't sure it was anything special, but I'm so glad we did. The pictures didn't really do it justice. The views were gorgeous! It's a statue that was built by someone after their death, they left money to create something to "beautify" the city. From the top of the tower you can look out and see all of the city from different angles. The inside of the tower has walls covered with beautiful murals depicting firefighters. The person who left the money was a volunteer firefighter and wanted to commemorate his comrades and all the work that they do/did. They were interesting, but mostly I just loved the views!
The hike down from Coit Tower was something. Tons and tons of stairs, that made me happy we had taken the bus up. After we left Coit, we continued on to another new experience. Mitch wanted to go to Chinatown. San Francisco is known to have the largest "Chinatown" in the United States. They were actually having a festival as well. Mitch was hoping that we could get some good Chinese food from street vendors. Once we got there, it was so crowded we could hardly move. The vendors filled the streets. There were sound stages set up on both ends, one with an American Band, and the other with a Chinese Songstress. It was interesting. We were disappointed to find that there were not street vendors. If you wanted any good Chinese food you had to go into a shop, and the lines were so long, we didn't stick around for any of that. It was an experience for sure.
