We had to rush pack this morning as even though our train is not until tonight we still had to check out at 11 am. We started with a starbucks and then onto the Photography Museum. It was only small but they had some amazing local work. There was even a few pics from Buffy the Vampire Slayer which we were loving. Brings back the great memories of that tv show :) We ended up outside the Hancock Observatory where i went into the Cheescake factory and got us a 's...

Well they either killed us or sold us as slaves :( Well its super sunny today which we were not expecting but good as w...

Wrong! th...

We did meet a guy called Malcolm who we convinced to sign up to the Cultural festival in the park we were going to that night. Thought it might have been postponed as...

San Francisco airport is not great. Confusing and everything seemed pretty rushed. Due to the early start clearly we were not with it as Laura noticed while queueing for security that we were wearing pretty much the same clothes. Grey trousers, linen tops and a hat. We must have looked like we were in a cult. Oh and we were carrying matching huge umbrellas........oh the shame... Ok the flight would have been boring if it wasnt for Laura and her 'bites'.
