Hi @KarenVChin and @ErmesT
What a fabulous sensational special Local Guides tour extraordinaire! San Francisco is a city that comes complete with its on efferecence! A buzz that comes from the heart of the city, the people!
Local Guides from all around the world adding to the human natural electricity that is in the connection of every community as one in that beautiful city was delightful! I.T was an incredible bonding for all watching from everywhere as well, and a fantastic feeling of joy and happiness that joined us all. Pure and simply the love of life, plus our countries, and sharing the #fun is totally spectacular!
Every story from the LGsummit17 the best summit ever was and is excellent and always wondrous and happy versions from everyone! Thank you all.
Seeing San Francisco through the eyes of a true local leader moderator Karen a vibrant, kind, vivacious beautiful San Francisco Local Guide, sharing with and then getting another vision from Ermes, a savoir, stately, friendly gentleman from Europe a leader moderator with Local Guides Italy is an exceptional experience. The pictures are supreme and the places you visited in the four hour wiz tour are all truly superb!
The excitement and beauty of being the the glorious church where Marilyn married Jo, so gorgeous. The windiest road in the world, Woohoo what a whirl of steep individual car (no overtaking there...lol) road with a difference. Then from a taste of Italy, San Francisco style to wonderful Chinatown too (Where you tasted the unique flavours and delightful aromas of a place that has its own character and is alive with Californian Chinese style)! Finishing on a whole new tour of fun with Aussie favourite, humorous, bubbly and brilliant @PaulPavlinovich 36' summit17 photo-bike-ride that covered Pier 39 and Fisherman's wharf with all its delights and seals too!
Thank you both for these outstanding versions of visions of this fun, historical, busy, interesting, delicious city before and during the summit.
Shine on champions!
Best wishes for a 2018 filled with love, happiness, great health and success in all you do.
Love and friendship always

- Writing posts on Connect about his beloved Treviso and homeland, Italy.
- Sharing his passions for clouds, wild mushrooms, photography, and bringing awareness and the rebuilding efforts of crumbling ancient Italian buildings after the recent devasting Norcia Earthquake.
- And, finally, hunting and getting rid of spam.

I can tell you that Ermes is exactly like this in person. I was very lucky to finally meet him in my hometown last October during the 2nd annual Local Guides Summit - LGSummit17. It was his first time in San Francisco and to be in California.

When Ermes told me he was only able to stay for just the Summit (October 10th - October 13th) because he couldn't take more time off work, I knew I had to be his Local Guide. I created a highly customized 4-hour tour during our free Tuesday morning / early afternoon so that he can maximize his San Francisco sightseeing time.
Local Guides Connect Moderator @PaulPavlinovich had planned his 1st Annual 36 Photowalk Summit Edition around Fisherman's Wharf & Pier 39 to happen that late afternoon that many LGSummit17 attendees were looking forward to finally meet-up in person.

My only advice before I met Ermes was to "wear your most comfortable walking shoes" because I planned for us to literally walk across San Francisco and back in a short amount of time.
My plan was to take him on a fast-paced tour through two famous San Francisco neighborhoods - North Beach (Little Italy) and Chinatown, including lunch at my favorite Chinatown dim sum restaurant, City View Restaurant.

well, Powell street is a wall, in fact is a wall, not a road
Caption, Cable cars at Union Square
What you don't know is that, after our "cable car raid" on friday, I did the same, running, in 20 minutes.
So funny
Ermes
Ahahahah @ErmesT I climbed this road with the RV 😄 😄
Thanks @Justine2807, I am glad you enjoyed @ErmesT and my posts. It was fun to share stories with Ermes during our walking tour. He knew, of course, NY Yankee Baseball Legend Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe. But did not realized they were married at San Francisco City Hall instead of a Catholic Church because both were divorced and at the time one could not get married again at a church because of this.
@PaulPavlinovich’s 36 Photowalk was a lot of fun! I can’t remember the total number who participated that late Tuesday afternoon. We did take up a lot of space walking as a group around Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39.
Cheers,
Karen
Haha @ErmesT, so sorry for this! But I know it was worth it. Was your flight on time even with all the smoke from the Wine Country fires?
