The Golden Gate Park is an expansive area that included botanical gardens, museums and other interesting attractions. It is not, as we first thought, part or associated with the Golden Gate Bridge. The name, however, is symbolic of the City of San Francisco being a gateway to America considering it was to Asia and the Pacific what New York was to Europe, Africa and the Atlantic.

| Before our short stroll, we explored the De Young Museum |
 |
| The relaxing environment at the park seem to be a perfect way for Day 1 of a vacation |
 |
| There weren't much people considering it was a Saturday |
 |
| The trees were lining up for the photo op |
 |
| And they even had a nice fountain! That's the California Academy of Sciences in the background. |

| This tree piques our curiosity and merited a photo. |

The Golden Gate Park is a great place to walk or bike. We saw a lot of joggers and cyclists as well as people strolling along. Many even brought their dogs and there were some who weren't on a leash. They seem quite happy and who wouldn't be with a park like this.
