was in 2001, when I made a trip with my doughter throughout the states in a 1982 Ford EcoVan, which I bought on eBay motors in front of the journey, still at home in Germany.
We did not all the SF-stuff, but cable car museum, fisherman’s wharf and Haight/Ashbury quarter alone was worth visiting. We had only 2 days, and I should go back asap :-)

As we left SF an old dream became true: Golden Gate Bridge! I was grown up in the former GDR, behind the “iron curtain”, and was all my youth dreaming of going over the GG!
