San Francisco, CA: Happy New Year!

We made it to San Francisco for the New Years!

Got up early, 3:30am, walked to the Metrolink, took the Metrolink in to Los Angeles Union Station, and then caught the Megabus up to San Francisco.  The ticket for the Metro was around $10/11, and the bus $35.  Not too bad.  

We got in to San Fran around 2:00p, walked a mile to our hostel, and slept until dinner time.  Got dinner, and then just explored and celebrated New Years in San Francisco!

                        

First we headed towards Chinatown.  We walked back and forth for some time, but finally ended up finding a group that was passing out maps to one another.  So we got a map, and ended up going the Sierra Hiking Club on a night hike up to Coit Tower.  They ended up making their way through the city, but we had to part to meet up with a friend who had just made her way in.  Pretty awesome.

We met some awesome people...

We had a rough time figuring out where to stand to see the fireworks, but it all worked out in the end.  Beautiful!

And then we waited for 2014 to end...

The Finale :)

And then took a decade to make it back.
