On the way to the Japanese Tea Garden we passed this brown fire truck
It was interesting to see a brown fire truck, normally they are red
Just so that you know if you get to the Japanese Tea Garden before 10 AM on a Monday, you get in for free, otherwise it is $9 per person. The Japanese Tea Garden is inside the Golden Gate Park. We got to the Japanese Tea Garden around 9:30 AM

Matcha
I ordered this and it was good. Texture was interesting. It was served with a marshmallow textured like dessert which was filled with bean paste. Matcha is finely ground powder of specially grown and processed green tea leaves. It is special in two aspects of farming and processing: the green tea plants for matcha are shade-grown for about three weeks before harvest and the stems and veins are removed in processing

Twin Peaks
The Twin Peaks are two prominent hills with an elevation of about 925 feet (282 m)[1] located near the geographic center of San Francisco, California. Only 928 foot (283 m) Mount Davidson is higher within the city.

Some kind of tower
The one thing you will notice when you get up on Twin Peaks is that it is really windy, so make sure to hold on to your hats and phones
