Sea lions

I was very curious to see the sea lions in the Fisherman's Wharf. I wandered around trying to find them , but when you get close you can't miss them: the sounds they make are easy to follow ;-)

San Fran , California

I'm currently in San Francisco attending the Molecular Medicine Triconference 2012, to which I was invited to speak.
Today after the talks I had some time to do the first visit. San Francisco is , so far, the most european of the American cities I've visited. Although it is a big city, The people seem much more relaxed and friendly than in New York!
Basically since I had only a few hours left of sunlight went down Market St until I reached the bay and had the opportunity to appreciate the architecture and skyscrapers. The Vitorian style of some buildings reminds me of some I saw in Sydney. Here are some pictures of the buildings:
