San Francisco here we come ! :)

After 3 amazing days in New York we planned to go to California and the first city is San Francisco. Our plane was departing NY at 7am so we spent last night half on the Times Square and half of the time on the airport re-packing our back-packs so we can take it as a carry-on.
The flight was 6 hours long and we slept most of the time. We landed at 10am (because there is 3 hours less than in DC- so 9 hours less than Slovakia)

We went almost everywhere (lombardo street, chinatown, golden gate bridge and golden gate park, etc) and we took a ride with the famous San Francisco-cable car :) we tried a typical american way of eating- All You Can Eat- you pay for a plate and then you can eat as much as your stomach allows you. In our case it was in a weird chinese restaurant called 'Dick's pastry' or something like that and it looked like they cook cats and dogs there :D but we payed 6$ each and finally ate some healthy food there- it was surprisingly delicious! And of course we took some fortune cookies so now we are waiting for our destiny :)
And what is more because of this weird Dick's restaurant we found a place to stay for two days- we found a nice couchsurfer who could host us for two nights so we didn't have to spend the night in our car. He is very hospitable and nice (eventho we came to his app. after midnight (we got lost while looking for our car at night- no we didn't find it anyway - funny story I'll tell you when I'm home :)) he was very sweet and helpful and has a beautiful apartment :)

We love San Francisco very much but we couldn't live here. I mean it's beautiful and everything but the weather?? It's crazy... When it's sunny it's like 1000 degrees but when sun hides behind the clouds you should better put on your winter coat.  

Now it's morning and we are going with our lovely host to spend some time in Golden gate park and then we are heading to Yosemite and Sequoya National Parks.

We'll keep you posted :)
