Сан-Франци́ско (англ. San Francisco, разг. просторечн. Frisco[2][3]) — город и округ в штате Калифорния, США, названный в честь католического святого (по-испански San) Франциска Ассизского[4]. Население в 2010 году составляло 815 358 человек, это четвёртый по численности населения город Калифорнии и двенадцатый в США[1]. Площадь Сан-Франциско составляет 600,6 км2, из них суши — 121,4 км2, воды — 479,2 км2. Сан-Франциско расположен на северной оконечности полуострова Сан-Франциско. Бо́льшую часть своей истории он являлся самым населённым и важным городом области залива Сан-Франциско.
В 1776 году испанцы обосновались на побережье полуострова, построив форт у пролива Золотые ворота и основав миссию, названную в честь Святого Франциска[5]. Возникший рядом с ней небольшой городок назывался Йерба-Буэна (исп. Yerba Buena, см. en:Yerba buena). В 1848 году, благодаря калифорнийской золотой лихорадке, город начал бурно расти[6]. В этом же году он был переименован в Сан-Франциско. После разрушительного землетрясения и пожара в 1906 году город был быстро и практически полностью перестроен[7].
Сан-Франциско является мировым туристическим центром[8], известный своими летними холодными туманами, крутыми холмами и сочетанием викторианской и современной архитектуры. В число достопримечательностей города входят мост «Золотые Ворота», остров Алькатрас, система канатных трамваев, башня Койт и чайна-таун.

<span>It's been a week since the night when Dima was attacked by
the bear. I will always remember that night now when I stayed with Dima
and we talked until morning. I had never felt so close to my brother
before. I was surprised to find out how much he had grown up and
changed during the summer. Dima told me everything he had heard in the
forest. He said that David and Daniel both liked me and that I had been
the reason for their fight. It turned out that Dima had always known
that David had written that letter to me and he had even helped him with
some of the Russian words. However, because I hadn't mentioned it, my
brother had kept his mouth shut too. But he should have told me.
Everything would have been different then. Anyway, it was too late now. I
told Dima it didn't matter to me and he dropped the subject.
Dima
was able to get back to his tent before dawn, so that no questions
about his absence were asked. He still had to wear the bandage on his
hand, but he made up a good story about a fight to explain it. The next
day was the last day of our trip. On Sunday evening we returned to
camp and our life got back to almost normal. I say "almost" because the
more I think about it, the more I understand how I was unfair to David.
Now I realize that he has always liked me and tried to show me, but I
refused to believe it. When I think about how badly I hurt him, I want
to kick myself. Even if he had done something wrong, how could I have
called him a coward? After all, what would I have done in a situation
like that? My hero Daniel has been very quiet since we got back. When
somebody tried to write an article about his heroism on the river, he
got really angry. He also stays away from Dima and me, as if we had done
something wrong. And David pretends I don't exist. So by day I try
to play it cool but by night I stay awake and try to think about
what I could have done differently.The most interesting summer of my
life isn't making me happy anymore. I'm looking forward to the autumn,
because in autumn I'll be home. </span>
