I always feel a little bit embarrassed when California doesn't put on its best face for visitors, but winter is the state's rainy season - and this year it seems to be starting early.
In case Mother Nature tries to rain on your vacation, we've put together a list of things to do on a rainy day in San Francisco. Some of them might surprise you.
I also suggest going to the top of the Sir Francis Drake and having a drink in the Starlight lounge. The 360 degree windows let in so much light even when it is raining, that it always cheers me up. And if the sun peeks through and the clouds break, the view is out of this world.
jh
when is the SF rainy season?
