New York and San Francisco revisited – two great cities but so different

Just recently my wife and I had occasion to visit New York and stopped off at San Francisco on the way.  It was yet another opportunity to visit two great cities, which together epitomise the great divide between the eastern and western coasts of the USA – separated by the mid-west and what seems increasingly to be Trump country.

San Francisco was the first stop on the itinerary, and really just an extended stopover on the way to New York.
