the san fransisco bay

I didn’t feel like posting last night. My dad had arrived and we got back to the hotel quite late so all I wanted to do was sleep :P
I went over to Alcatraz yesterday. It looked pretty much like it did the last time I was there a couple of years ago. Some things were different. I could venture out in the recreational yard this time. It was so windy out there. When I got past the walls and into the garden it was so beautiful. I got a magnificent view of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Today I’m going to walk around Chinatown. Gonna buy Julia a cute chinese outfit. Similar to the one Alina got when she was a toddler but purple. Alina got a red one. I’m also going to get some photos of cable cars today if I can remember it. Tomorrow dad promised we could get a car and drive to Presidio and get close-ups of the Golden Gate and drive over it and up in the hills and get a city view with the Golden Gate.

hello san fransisco

I arrived in San Fransisco, CA on Saturday afternoon. Feels like it has been longer haha So far I’ve been walking around town (didn’t remember the streets being so steep!) and took the ferry to Sausalito. I’ve also gotten myself a nasty burn around my neck and on my arms. That’s what I get for wearing a dress.

Chinatown is like it always have been. I don’t think anything has changed since I was there last. Neither had Pier 39. Been eating there two days in a row. Love Luigi’s :) Today I’m gonna by myself a Mad Hatter hat at the pier. It’s so cool! Little bit brighter then the one in “Alice In Wonderland” but it’s awsome. Also on the itinerary today is Alcatraz. I’m gonna buy Julia one of those pretty back and white prison outfits. They had the cutest dresses in that pattern. The text on it reads – Rejected, Too cute.

end of the school year

This week has been busy busy. Been working a little but mostly seeing friends and spending time with my family. Tomorrow I’m going to pack my stuff that I’m bringing with me on holiday.
I’m halfway done with packing but I have a couple of stuff left – some clothes, my carry-on baggage (my cameras and laptop), toiletries, need to put some more music on my iPod. That kind of stuff :)

This evening we had Alina’s “school graduation”. She finished first grade and she sang songs together with her grade plus the second and third year students. I got to test my new camera on moving object. Have to say I prefer objects that stand still :P

something old, something new

It’s been a while since I last had a blog on my site. I’ve been working on this for a couple of days. I’m kinda content with it. I’ll keep it for the duration of my holiday. I want to blog and post photos while I’m abroad. I’m going to work a bit more on the photography page.

Now I need to drive Alina’s friend home and Alina and I are going to the stable. Alina was so mad yesterday that we couldn’t go and see Bella.
