    There are about 9 million people in Los Angeles, 3 million people in San Diego and less than 1 million in San Francisco.  Clearly warm weather is a human magnet.
     But San Francisco's Golden Gate (connecting the San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean)  has resonated with all peoples who have used this unique strait.  The Golden Gate Bridge, built in 1937, is known as one of the world's most beautiful bridges and is on the list of America's Favorite Architecture.
      Los Angeles is stunning by night and rich in culture and history.  The La Brea Tarpits, symbolized in Hancock Park, honor the animals surprised by the asphalt seeping up from the ground... a process that has continued for thousands of years providing ample fodder for modern research.
     Mulholland Drive, made famous by being home to many movie stars, is a winding road following the ridgeline of the Santa Monica Mountains.   The Palos Verdes Drive leads to the still functioning  Point Vincente Lighthouse.  Short distance for a car...giant distance for the mind.
     San Diego takes a person through a range of emotions, too.  Sea World attracts visitors to marvel at Shamu.  The opulence of the Coronado Hotel, commercial port.
