San Francisco is famous for many things, for one it is a very pretty city with lots to do. There is the beach, the diverse neighborhoods, chinatown, Fishermans Wharf. San Francisco is also famous for the great earthquake of 1906 that nearly burnt down the whole city. San Francisco is known for its fog and chilly weather, but during the summer it is great.

In 1513, Juan Ponce DE Leon came to the Sunshine State in search of the mythical fountain of youth, and named it Florida. Sometimes it seems that everyone in America over the age of sixty is searching for that fountain too.Tallahassee is the state capital, although Jacksonville is the largest city in Florida.

For whatever reason, he fixated on Florida for the fountain of youth. HE 'might', I am not sure, have a relation to the founding of the city of St Augistine in Florida. THANKS
