The Golden Gate Bridge is an engineering marvel and an iconic symbol of San Francisco

#summerbudgettrip So iconic it was almost surreal to visit. The best part was not actually being on the bridge, but rather the walk there from Fisherman’s Wharf. There are so many excellent photo spots along the way as it slowly goes from the distant background to the dominant feature. The experience was exhilarating – the sound of seagulls filled the air as we sailed beneath the bridge's impressive structure. The cool San Francisco Bay breeze carried the salty scent of the ocean, adding to the sensory delight.
