The Golden Gate Bridge is not Golden.

The Golden Gate bridge is not golden. The area was called the "Golden Gate" during the gold rush because it was the gate to gold so when they built the bridge they named it the "Golden Gate Bridge". The architect wanted to paint it gray but compromise was made to paint it orange. Now you can actually ride your bike or jog across the bridge. They have a path and you can also ride your bike and then ride the ferry back.































JR and I posing. We had just came from Napa Valley and it was in the 80's and then we stopped at the bridge and it cooled down to 60 degrees. Brr.























Two my teacher friends were in San Francisco when we got their. So we drove to Napa Valley and then stopped at the bridge. Karen on the left and Shelia on the right.



This picture does not give it justice. It was gorgeous.
