Hiya, hope you liked the photos, we had to upload them really quickly so we couldnt really write many comments.

San Francisco was great, its been our favourite place so far. It was really windy but we had a few warm days, we were so busy the time that we spent there we hardly noticed!

There was loads to do but we had a car so it was much easier and we managed to do just about everything we wanted. We did all the sites as you can see from the photos, and we went to Alcatraz. It was really good and we were really glad that we went but is was sad and quite upsetting at times. The lives these people had must have been awful, its easy to forget that they were there because they were convicted criminals.

We moved on before we planned to because the parking was so expensive, it was $20 a day so we left a few days early and drove to Sacramento. We did well too, I drove and Tanya navigated, we didnt get lost once. We enjoyed a few days by the pool whaich was really nice and hot, we were so tired we felt we deserved a few days off!!

We arrived in Santa Cruz yesterday, we drove down the coast and found it really easily. Threres not much here to do, its nice buut we are gonna leave tommorow and go to Carmel in Santa Monica. We got talking to a guy on our flight and he said its really nice there, really idealic.

Still having a great time, loving the shopping, we discovered Wal-mart (sooooo cheap!) and Macys. And Blommingdales.

Take care, speak soon xxx
