So our only plan after getting to our airbnb was to somehow stay away until the evening, so that our internal clocks are set to local time. This meant staying up until 5-6 in the morning by eu time, which was not the easiest as we already woke up at 5... My brilliant idea was to start at the Mission District, which is not really at the centre of town, and then walk into the centre from there. Which started out fine, we had some nice Mexican food, saw some cool murals and houses. But then the walk to town started, and it was some of the dodgyest neighbourhoods we have ever walked through, the streets full of homeless people, druggies, crazies and a random combination of the three - not the best first impression of the city I must say... In the end we made in to union Square, which was a bit more interesting and nice. We also saw our first cute tram too.Read more
