Hi All!
How are you? Good I do hope! We are here in San Francisco, we arrived yesterday and have been having a splendid time!
We walked part of the Golden Gate Bridge, which was kinda scary as there were bikes and cars and people and it was just very hectic! Still, it was an awesome thing to do! We have explored the area known as Fisherman's Wharf, watched the cute Sea Lions who live at Pier 39, been on a trolley to the Union Square Area as well as Chinatown and Downtown areas!
Last night we went out to San Bruno and met Andrea and Stephan (friends who use to live in New Jersey with us) and some of their friends at a Mexican restaurant. It was great to catch up with them, they seem to be enjoying life out here on the West Coast!
Today we did more exploring and then caught a boat out to Alcatraz which was awesome. For those of you who do not know, it is an island in the middle of San Francisco Bay that use to house a maximum security federal prison - I guess because there have been many movies made in Alcatraz it made the whole place seem oddly familiar, yet totally creepy. It was just awesome to see!
Then tonight we had dinner with one of my friends from college, Stacy who lives out here! Tomorrow Mum, Dad and Meish are heading back to Jersey and I am going to stay a few days longer with Stacy and her boyfriend, Trev. I am looking forward to catching up with them both!
There are lots of photos below as I didn't post yesterday. Hope you enjoy them all!
Lots of love,
