San Francisco word search

San Francisco: a free online word search

San Francisco word search, where morning fog swallows the Golden Gate and cable cars still run the hills exactly as they did in 1873.

About San Francisco

San Francisco sits at the tip of a narrow peninsula, wrapped on three sides by the cold blue of the Pacific and the bay. Its hills are legendary, forty-three of them, and the cable cars that have gripped those slopes since 1873 are still the best way to feel the city's rhythm, bell clanging, bay wind in your face. At dusk the fog pours silently through the Golden Gate, softening the bridge's towers to a warm rust blur above the water.
