On Saturday, June 21, we got to San Francisco. I was so excited to explore there. Wyatt told me before that it was really cool, so I couldn’t wait.

The first thing we did was go on the cable car. The cable cars there aren’t like the ones that go to Governors Island. They are like subways that go in the middle of the road. We took it up Powell Street. I saw a sign in the cable car that they where founded it the early 1800s, which I thought was really interesting.

We got off at Lombard Street. Lombard Street is the crookedest road in the world.

The crooked road.

When I first heard that I didn’t believe it was actually crooked. I thought it was a joke. Then I discovered that it was more crooked than a paper clip. I said, “It would be really fun to sled down this in the winter” I really wanted to get a go cart and drive down it. We walked down it instead.

After we walked down Lombard Street, we went to Ghirardelli Square. Ghirardelli Square is where the old Ghirardelli factory was. Now it’s a lot of Ghirardelli stores and a few toy stores. When we went into a Ghirardelli store they gave us free chocolate squares. It was milk chocolate caramel. They were really good. I was so excited to get a whole bar of really good chocolate. I got a milk chocolate caramel brownie bar. It tasted like a Lindt chocolate truffle, which are my favorite chocolate truffles. After we got chocolate we saw a sign that said Ghirardelli was founded in 1852 in San Francisco. I thought that fact was really interesting because I didn’t know Ghirardelli was founded in San Francisco. I thought it was founded in Belgium or a country near there.
