October 30- November 3:
San Francisco, CA
If you are thinking I made a mistake about the date, you are wrong. We left Sendai, Japan at 8:55am on the 30th and arrived in California at 11am on the 30th. After a long trip, almost completing our trip around the world, we arrived in San Francisco to meet my cousin, Teresa.
It is nice to be back in the states.
We have watched some football and attended a halloween party, although I think we were both still half asleep. We went as backpackers.
My friend and former Japanese teacher, Kumiko, is in the area. We met her for lunch Sunday. Today I met with Kimberly, friend from BCM days at JSU. She and Fred moved here to Pastor a church. .
Yesterday we took a ride to San Francisco and took a walk down by the piers. We saw the Golden Gate bridge, Alcatrez, and Ghiradelli chocolate factory.
San Francisco is a charming city with trolley cars and rolling hills. They also have a rather large sea lion population. They are entertaining to watch.
I think we are both ready to head home and get started on new phases of our lives. We will have another post later on some overall thoughts from the trip.
