I did this on purpose...to keep you all in suspense! Friday 20th - San DiegoToday we visited San Diego.

Within its borders of 4,200 sq. miles, San Diego County encompasses 18 incorporated cities and numerous other charming neighborhoods and communities. It's a quiet Spanish/Mexican style town.

Golden Gate Bridge = AWESOME! Hey people. Today was my best day so far. Me and room mate Bill took a bus to the GGB...and what a sight it was. Absolutely amazing. As you can see Ive taken loads of pictures of it.Its so huge, i was reading some info on it, if you take a look at one of the pics it tells you some facts on the construction of it.
