Hey y'all from America! Well, we made it to our final country after a long flight from Fiji. Here we are in sunny san francisco, we've been here a week and there's so much to do! We have done all of the typical touristy things-been to chinatown, union square where shops like tiffany, gucci and macys are (sadly backpackers budget won't stretch that far!), levis plaza and climbed the many steps to coit tower.
