It's hard to believe but a year as already passed since I first arrived in San Francisco.
Even though I did not write anything on the 30th of June, the actual day that I left Portugal, I spent most of the week thinking that it's been a year. I remember that at the time I was really happy to be able to be in the US for the 4th of July, because I know that it is an important date for the Americans. Unfortunately, due to heavy fog (what a surprise fog in San Francisco...) at the end of the day we were not able to see the fireworks. However, during the day we went visiting the outskirts of San Francisco and went to Muir Woods National Park to see some Redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens).
Here are some of the photos that I took at the time:
Crossing the Golden Gate Birdge for the first time. (You can actually see how heavy the fog was that morning...)
First time stepping on a beach at the Pacific Ocean.
Just something I found curious.
Some of the great views surrounding San Francisco.
A fallen redwood, showing the actual age of the tree, it was born in ~989A.D. and fell in 1930.Several important dates are marked.
Actually, the July 4th is also a holiday in my hometown. :)
