San Francisco, San Francisco, California
I drove from Modesto to Oakland and over the bay to San Rafael (in which the term "420[a]"[b] originated), driving over the rollercoaster-shaped Richmond-San Rafael Bridge[c]. From there I went south to Point Spencer.
At Point Spencer you can see what's left of Battery Spencer[d], part of Fort Baker. The circular slab is one of three used to mount the battery's 12 inch guns.
On the top of the hill is this outpost.
On the other side of the Golden Gate bridge and a little bit to the east is Fisherman's Wharf where you can find old ships...
...and a lot of stores. In particular camera stores and camera accessories seemed to be the most common stores.
This pictures shows the hilly nature of San Francisco. If you aren't either ascending or descending a steep hill, you have probably left SF altogether.
This is the bendiest street in all of the world. It is Lombard Street, on top of the Russian Hill.
A tram. The trams are driven by cables being pulled through the "middle rail" that you can see. The cables are continuously running and the car is driven by gripping the cable or by applying brakes. You can try driving a tram at Gripman's[e].

The Transamerica Pyramid[g], one of the easiest recognizable landmarks of San Francisco. While it no longer houses the Transamerica insurance company, the company still has the pyramid in its logo, as you can see on their website[h].
