I’ve only spent half a day in this city, and I’m already head over heels in love with it. Seriously, is this for real? I knew that there were cute houses in all the colors of the rainbow, steep hills and charming streets here, but I thought it was just concentrated in one part of the city. I didn’t know all of San Fran was like that! Seriously, it doesn’t even look real, it’s too charming to be true. I only brought my camera for a quick sightseeing trip yesterday, but I thought I’d share the few snapshots I took while taking in all the wonderfulness that this city has to offer..

Okay, so our house deserves a few pictures to start with. It’s so freakin’ cool and chic, and so huge! This is our bedroom, where I’m blogging from right now.. I suddenly feel an urge to redecorate at home, and copy every single detail of this house. Don’t even get me started on the brick wall, it’s too cool!

Our living room..

And the dining room area. How amazing is this house?!

Oh, and just to put the cherry on the sundae.. Check out our view! This is from the bedroom, where we have perfect views over this pretty city. We even seee the Golden Gate bridge from our bed!

The first thing we visited when we got here was the house they used for the TV-series ‘Full House’. Full House was to me as a kid, what Sex and The City and Friends are now.. Shows I have seen every single episode of, and can watch again and again without ever getting tired of it. DJ, Steph, Michelle, they were my idols growing up. It was so fun to see the house! Next we headed to Lombard Street, which must be the coolest street I’ve ever seen. The hill is so steep that the road almost goes in circles all the way down.

Cool, right? Another thing I noticed was that my favorite flower, hydrangea, was e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e. For us Norwegians they are pretty pricey, especially if you want to buy them on a branch and have in a vase. Here in San Fran they almost grow as weed I was told. Another reason to be in love with this city..

San Francisco is an extremely gay friendly city, which makes me love it even more. There must be thousands of these flags around the city, which makes me feel like everyone is welcome here. Not only when it comes to if you like girls or boys, but there’s room for all sorts of people and personalities. There are so many interesting people here, I wish I could stay for years and hear everyone’s story. Especially with those who lived through the hippie era, as San Francisco was one of the main cities the movement originated from. Peace & Love!

The hills are so steep, it seems impossible to drive up and down them. All the houses along these steep hills blow my mind, so cool!

Street art is found absolutely everywhere in this pretty city..

Yesterday was just a small warm-up sightseeing-wise, as we were pretty beat from the long drive. Today it’s ON!! Unfortunately we won’t have time to visit Alcatraz, but we’re heading to some other really cool places. I wish we had much more time here, I can’t believe we’re going home tomorrow! When I think about it, I’ve actually spent a full month in the US so far in 2014, so I guess I should just be happy with that. But I’ll definitely come back to San Francisco, this city has so much to offer. It’s really chilly and wind though, so I’m facing a real wardrobe challenge here. My suitcase is meant for the blistering desert heat, and the only sweater I have is a pink one with a unicorn in rainbow colors on it. Come to think about it, that probably works perfectly in this city. I don’t know if it will make for a good an outfit post though, hah. Any who, have a lovely day you guys! <3
