The famous Golden Gate Bridge, distinguished by its unique 'International Orange' paint, truly is a phenomenal structure. After a long week of sedentary work in the office, a friend of mine and I decided to walk across this historic bridge for a little exercise and fresh air. We certainly got both, walking two miles each way, with heavy winds. Luckily, the sun was still shining to offset the blasts of air that twice blew my cap off (no, I wasn't angry).
Anyway, plenty of tourists as well as locals who want to exercise may be found at this monument. The view of the cityscape and the ocean from the bridge (and from either end) is amazing, especially on a sunny day. Although I generally don't like fog (I believe I mentioned this earlier), it was especially picturesque to see it moving from the Pacific towards the downtown area of SF.
