GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE in San Francisco- California, USA



San Francisco is in the northern part of Los Angeles California. Home of cable carts and the well known "Golden Gate Bridge". (actually red in color but they say it appears golden when seen thru space).

Lombard Street was considered the world's crookedest(most winding) road, only open to one way entry downwards because of its 16 degree inclination.

It is nice to eat Crab Chowder in Pier 39 while viewing the Alcatraz (previous prisoners island) few kilometers away.

Palace of Fine Arts was cool too for its Roman-Greek architecture constructed in 1915. It is located few kilometers away from Golden Gate Park.

3 SISTERS - BLUE MOUNTAINS in Katoomba, New South Wales

Last September 2007, I attended the wedding of my bestfriend in Sydney. It is so frustrating that Sydney Harbour bridge and Opera House area had a closure for the "APEC Summit" for the security reasons of dignitaries.

My bestfriend's family and I just visited the "3 Sisters".



The 3 SISTERS is located at Echo Point in Katoomba, New South Wales.
They are 922, 918 & 906 metres tall, respectively. That's over 3000 feet above sea level.




Their ridge formation is part of the Seven Sisters and has profound spiritual significance to Aboriginal people (natives of Australia).
