That is so cool you've been to San Francisco ((((((ss))))))) I don't actually live in San Francisco, I live across the Bay from it, so when I hike in a particular regional park I get great views of the city and the bridge (unless it's foggy!!)
I've been to Victoria and Vacouver Island! That's my sole experience on Canadian soil. And it was a beautiful experience!!!
Here is a picture that I took from "my" bench in the regional park I hike in most days!! Everything is still very green because it's been so wet. In a few months the green grass will be brown!!!
