San Francisco

“San Francisco is my favorite place to visit for several reasons,” Jacob said aloud. He stood in the front of the classroom, giving his report.

“The city, first of all, has amazing sights to see. The Mission of San Francisco is a Catholic mission that was built right in the heart of the city. You can see fishing boats of all sizes parked at the pier, and seals making loud barking noises down by the docks. There is a museum, too, that has old games and machines from the past.

Many of the streets in San Francisco are very steep. One street, Lombard, is a tourist attraction. It zigzags back and forth from top to bottom. It is the most crooked street in the world!

San Francisco also has many different things you can do. Riding a cable car is exciting as you race up and down the narrow streets. There are many different types of restaurants to try. People can ride bikes, walk along the ocean, or roller-blade. Tourists can buy souvenirs or eat fresh clam chowder from bowls made of sourdough bread.

San Francisco is a place I could talk about for hours, but these are just a few reasons to go there for a visit.”

“Wow!” said my teacher. “Wow, wow, wow! Let’s just get in the car and go to San Francisco!” We all cheered. Oh, if only we could.
