California Day 8: Union Square, Financial District, Chinatown & North Beach

I believe that today I visited the most touristic neighbor of San Francisco. Union Square was very "small", and I loved to see a Frank Lloyd Wright's building (I love FLW). Financial District was empty, obviously since it was saturday morning; the Transpyramid Building stole the scene even if you don't like it. Chinatown was crowded and loud, but fascinating. North Beach was more homey, it was strange to see all that Italian names around. Then we climbed the hill to the Coit Tower and again down through a street made of wooden steps and cute little cottage. At the end of the wooden stair there was the Fisherman's Wharf... I ran away, it was too crowded (and a different type of crowd than Chinatown) and too touristic for me.
