Monday - the start of our last week in San Francisco. Mum and I went off downtown again to ride the cable cars and do a bit of shopping. Dad stayed in the apartment to try to sort out the trip to Yosemite. (Dad says it is all a bit touch and go, as we will not know until first thing tomorrow whether Yosemite will be open to visitors because of some political stuff!)
Here is a cable car being turned round on a turntable - 2 workers have to push it round. They must be strong. And here is me sitting in cable car number 9.
The shop I really wanted to go to sold........
.... Converse All Stars sneakers! Looks like I got a new pair!
When we got back to the apartment we all went for a walk in a park nearby. It had a little lake called Pine Lake. Here is a picture of a Eucalyptus tree - there were more of these than pine trees, but that is because people cut down all the pines and eucalyptus trees were planted because they grow really big really fast!
As we were watching, the famous San Francisco mist started rolling in on the lake.
Tomorrow we are off to Yosemite - or not!! Watch the news! If we go, there will be no more blog entries for a couple of days.
Hester (& Dad - a bit)
Hello Hester, I love your sneakers (although I used to call them baseball shoes!). I hope you managed to go to Yosemite, but looking at the news it doesn't look too hopeful. I must admit, I do find it incredible that a country like America can have a government shut down.Anyway, I'm sure that there are loads of other things that you can do. have fun! Uncle Punkle. X.
