Portal:San Francisco Bay Area/Quotes/6

It seemed like a matter of minutes when we began rolling in the foothills before Oakland and suddenly reached a height and saw stretched out ahead of us the fabulous white city of San Francisco on her eleven mystic hills with the blue Pacific and its advancing wall of potato-patch fog beyond, and smoke and goldenness of the late afternoon of time.

~ Sal Paradise, from the 1957 novel On the Road by Jack Kerouac
