San Francisco

I was on summer vacation
San Francisco was the destination
The warm breeze, spring in the air
All looked bright and fair
The crooked street
I so wanted to meet
And drive thru the China bazaar
Looking at exotic filled jars
The cable car was an instant hit
It was hard to get in and fit
The heather farm a heavenly abode
Where flowers grew all along the road
Napa valley took my heart
From the wines I didn’t want to part
But it was the awesome Golden Gate Bridge
And its green overlooking ridge
That was the star of the tour
Left me asking for more
A vacation forever in my mind
For the tender memories left behind

tahera, I finally got to see SF when my hubbie moved us out there in '85. I lived only half an hour from it. I LOVE that city. It could be the best city in the U.S because of the atmosphere of the different city parts and didn't you just love the entertainers on the pier? congrats on your win.
