While the neighborhood has notably changed since The Summer of Love—with a few high-end boutiques such as John Fluevog and the occasional chain shop, like Ben & Jerry's—the Haight, as its locally known, still retains much of its hippie persona and open-minded feel.

Vale muito a pena

O barco era tamanho medio, o Capital do barco explicava os pontos turisticos, so que ele falava em ingles. Eu recomendo esse passeio.
