San Francisco: The Essence of Culture and Wonder

San Francisco, California.
When visiting San Francisco, the only thing you'll have to worry about is how to fit in all the city has to offer during your stay. As one of the largest cities in California, San Francisco boasts an abundance of sights and activities to discover and enjoy, no matter your liking. There are plenty of attractions, including Fisherman's Warf and Golden Gate Bridge, plus superb day trips to the surrounding vineyards, Alcatraz and Hearst's Castle.
While in the city, travelers have the choice of 14 districts to visit. Some of the most popular areas are Presidio/Marina, Chinatown and Haight-Ashbury/Golden Gate Park. All of the districts offer a different cultural taste and style (whether in its food, entertainment or residents) making San Francisco one of the most distinctive cities in the country.
For the outdoorsman, there's biking, kayaking, golfing and hot air balloon riding, while the ultimate shopper can get her fill in the fashionable Union Square district. Plus, San Francisco hosts 20 music, art and cultural festivals around the city every year to celebrate its diversity.
Don't miss out on traveling to San Francisco-a city of excitement, culture and beauty!

My feet hurt
I work 12-hour shifts, and at the end of the shift I want to fall over dead because my feet hurt so bad. I wear the Airwalk foam shoes and they don't seem to be helping my feet at all. Are Dansko shoes the best there are for nurses? Are Crocs any better than the cheapo Airwalks? Are the Danskos worth the $100??
