Our first day in San Francisco (sort of)

Yesterday was our first real day in San Francisco after a long and tiring trip.
We started off having a lecture from a professor who teaches languages in a university in Monterey, California.
He spoke about the American society, the Arabic culture and explained to us how it was to be an American with Egyptian origins living in the USA. 
Afterwards, we walked to Union Square where we took the Magic Bus around the city. We drove by China Town, Haight Ashbury, the Golden Gate Park and so on. In the Magic Bus we time traveled to the 60s, where San Francisco was at its peak of the beatnik and hippie movement . To make the travel more real and "trippy", our tour guide, Treeflower handed her tribe (us) some LSD, which to be more accurate, was candy. 
The tour was very fun and interesting and is definitely reccomended, I learned a lot about the city.
After the time travel experience, we were dropped off at Union Square where we had time to shop and eat dinner. 

Enjoy the pictures :)
