Riding the Miniature Railroad at Wilson Park in Torrance, California
SeeTheGlobe.com Travel Article :: I have been watching a lot of local Torrance TV lately. My favorite show is Spotlight Torrance, where reporters visit popular, quirky and cool local establishments. The miniature railroad at Wilson Park was featured recently. It looked very interesting and most promising. Just last weekend we were perusing the local events trying to find a place to visit. I remembered the show and after a quick Internet search found the Southern California Live Steamers club web site. They run the miniature railroad in Torrance and their site had all of the necessary information, the most important being that first Sunday of each month free rides are given from 11am until 3pm and also every third Saturday. Lucky for us this was a first Sunday. We quickly packed our stuff and headed out to Wilson Park.

Hello from San Francisco - A Bike Ride across the Golden Gate Bridge and Dinner at McCormick & Kulet
SeeTheGlobe.com Travel Article :: A big storm was forecast for our second day in San Francisco, but so far we had been lucky. Our culinary tour through the North Beach area had gone off without a hitch. Even the sun peeked out here and there. Local food and culture expert Tom Medin who runs Local Taste of the City Tours, provided us with a great introduction to San Francisco and its lifestyle as well as a sampling of the culinary treats on offer in this bustling Italian-flavoured neighbourhood in San Francisco.This three and a half hour tour had not only enhanced our knowledge of San Francisco; the various treats we were offered had also stimulated our taste buds.

We said goodbye to Tom on Washington Square and started heading up a steep street called Filbert Street to explore another San Francisco landmark: the Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill. Walking up the steep incline I was amazed how people are able to park their cars on these streets. As we continued further up the hill, a beautiful view opened up towards downtown San Francisco, crowned by the Transamerica Pyramid. Through the trees we even got glimpses towards the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge.
