The Dutch Windmills

11-Mar-2015 • San Francisco, California United States

Who would have thought that one could find windmills in San Francisco? Actually, there are two and both are within the confines of the huge Golden Gate Park. The good news is that both are not far from each other.

One positive thing that came out of my having a blog is that I have become a very observant tourist right in my own backyard. I have seen almost all the landmarks and sights I write about here many times. Usually Marc, my partner, and I would just pass by them as we drive to somewhere. It was really just recently, however, when we began visiting and exploring them. I must say, I have just fallen in love even more with my adopted city. San Francisco is truly pretty and looking at these attractions up close has been a lot of fun.
