So free for the afternoon we set on out to just make our own way and explore. Finally my style of travel! As we were advised to stay out of the Tenderloin area, I thought I’d try to skip the area, but promptly walked straight into the heart of it.

I also noticed some reconstruction that was covered by boards (to protect the public from dust/debris etc) was open for artists to have a go of creating something on them. This was actually nice to see, and very characterful and not something seen in my adopted home country of Japan.

Picking the top five of so many great cities is a difficult task, but we’ve had a go, so check it out.
