Travel Destination: San Francisco
by Kris Muñoz
What can I say about this place that hasn’t
already been said or seen in various films and
articles? I love traveling to this city! Every time I do,
I discover some new hidden gem. I will admit it
now. A little bit of heart will always belong here in
San Francisco.
Firstly, let me just gush about the San Francisco
International Airport. It is one of the biggest, cleanest and beautiful airports I have ever be in. Trust
me, I’ve seen a lot of airports. It was the first airport that I saw to incorporate the use of a public
yoga space. The artwork and sculptures you see
in the terminals is always unique and informative
about some theme that is currently happening
somewhere within the city at that time. Plus, you
can always skip taking a Lyft ride from the airport
and just take the B.A.R.T. into several parts of the
city.
Once on the B.A.R.T. always check your seat
before seating in it. I can’t stress this enough. I’ll
come back to that point that point later. I will usually take it to the Financial District located in the
area of Montgomery St and Bush St. One of my
favorite hotels is in that area and I try to stay there
when visiting. Which hotel is that you may ask, but
for now that will stay my little secret. San Francisco
has no shortage of hotels or Bed and Breakfasts.

whole new place waiting to be experienced. But I
tend to go straight to Pier 44 in the Marina District.
There is nothing better than getting actual seafood, directly from the ocean. The taste is so much
better. Yes, I kinda just drooled while typing that
last sentence. I can’t help it when I remember the
explosion of flavors and seasons that you get from
the various restaurants at the Piers. Yes, there are
other numbered piers there by the way.
Pier 44 is famously known for it’s Chowder House
Restaurant. If you have not been to it yet, then
you must try it out at least once in your life. You
know, it was San Francisco that made me fall
madly in love with sushi. Growing up in the desert, I
