St. Mary’s Cathedral


After going to City Hall, I went to St. Mary’s Cathedral. St. Mary’s Cathedral is one of the most famous cathedrals in the United States and it has very unique shape. Big meeting for Christian was holding inside. Something very beautiful was hanging on the ceiling, maybe crystal, and four long rectangular stained glasses were on its side walls. It was so impressive and mysterious.

City Hall


I went to City Hall on September 17th. I also went to St. Mary’s Cathedral and Japan town at the day. I took Muni to downtown and got off Civic Center station. There was farmer’s market on the way to there. Fresh vegetables and fruits had been selling. I saw some statues near the market and big building, City Hall behind them. The building was really beautiful and awesome. It was something I’ve never seen. My tour book said it’s one of the most beautiful buildings in the United States. Some of the top part was painted in gold, so it can attract people’s attention. There were some and cultural buildings like War Memorial Opera House, Asian Art Museum and Louis M Davies Symphony Hall at a nearby site, so the place around City Hall must be culturally important place.
