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.
A number of the sites in the neighborhoods of San Francisco I was visiting in 2016 were closed on Saturdays. Most of these, unsurprisingly, were downtown, in and around the Financial District. I knew I’d be heading back to full-time work shortly, after having taken about a year off. So for 3 days in a row in September, I checked out these weekday-only sites.
