What have we been doing......
Yesterday we went for a walk through golden gate park...... it usually takes around 2 and a half hours but when you're tourists having a squabble over which way is the right way to go and the map isn't really helping (the park is bigger than you can imagine!!!!! It even has roads through it!) it takes you 4 hours..... but on the way through we saw squirels, moles and a bison (like a buffalo) that didn't do much. So I suppose it was well worth it in the end!! On that same day we ended up taking a drive down to half moon bay to see seals and walk along the cliffs! we also bought live crabs from a boat at the marina!!! There was a crow following us and I bet it was coming to get Drew!! hehe!! After the end of that day we were seriously tired.....! Today was exciting.... after having breakfast in a teahouse we drove across the Golden Gate Bridge!!! It was so amazing!! On the other side we went to a beach (it was hot today!! 29 oC !!) and threw a ball around!!! Then we got to drive all the way back across!! the highways are so cool here!! the speed limit is 120kmph!! For dinner tonight we had spaghetti with this really nice sauce...... and we have a new way to test when our spaghetti is ready..... our host threw a strand of spaghetti against the wall...... if it sticks it's ready so in our case it was!!! We have also been to this really neat art museum!! it was massive...... it had some really original art in it!! There is also a guy here who is iconic/famous for jumping out of bushes in the city and scaring people...... we thought he was just a weirdo sitting by a rubbish bin but he jumped and out and gave mum a huge fright.... then we were told he was known for doing that!! entertainment kind of comes to you in this city.... when we were in a clothing store there was another guy doing a weird dance (in the middle of the store) to the music that was playing.. its quite funny watching everything/one!! Its so weird here catching trams and trains and the steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car.... I never get used to that..... its a really strange city...... can't wait to see what else it shows us!!! =P
