San Francisco

For thousands of years before the Spaniards arrived, natives lived peacefully on this natural and fertile land. It was not until 1776 that the great Franciscan missionary to California built the Mission Dolores. More has been written and said about this tiny piece of property than almost any other in the United States. Three major universities in close proximity give the Bay Area the distinction of having the highest concentration of living Nobel Laureates in the world.
