Many people think of California with sunny skies, warm weather and sandy beaches.
Those images are not from San Francisco. It rains in the winter, but seldom the rest of the year. April and October are two of the nicest months to visit. To embrace all San Francisco has to offer you must get out and explore. Walk the streets, drive across the Bay Bridge, go south down the peninsula to Silicon Valley and cruise along the San Mateo coast.
