The weather in San Francisco is a nice 15-20\u00b0C with plenty of sunshine, which unlike Singapore, makes it possible to just relax on the grass. This would have been unbearable in the hot and humid Singapore weather. Here’s the people relaxing on the grounds of Washington Square in front of the St. Peter and Paul Church.<\/p>\n

The route to the Coit Tower<\/a>, situated on top of Telegraph Hill, was a rather tiring one, due to San Francisco’s many slopes. The following pic does not really show it, though.

The top of the Coit Tower is actually open, and makes for an interesting shot against the cloudless blue sky.<\/p>\n
