The 2016 BSFBB Awards

Presenting…the 2016 Best of San Francisco By Billy Awards!  (Yeah, they’re a little late.  But I’m sure you don’t mind.  And after this, it’s finally on to India!)

Obviously I liked San Francisco enough to move here.  But I always thought it was overrated as a sightseeing destination.  Starting right away with Day 1 of my official sightseeing in San Francisco last April, I realized just how wrong I was.

Best Day

After my first day out in San Francisco, following the Barbary Coast Trail, I didn’t think any future day could beat it.  San Francisco totally enthralled me on Day 1.  And it didn’t hurt that the weather was uncharacteristically perfect.  But once again I was wrong.  One day was able to beat out Day 1.

Best Day: There was one day that blew me away. Day 4. The Mission and the Castro. Admittedly, it was largely due to the murals of the Mission. San Francisco, United States, North America.
