So there's a week left in the US till i get on the plane and head back to everything i once thought was normal, ye i said once, it's weird since i got here i've become so accustomed to so much that now it seems normal, that includes the American accent, i know, i can't believe it, i was laughing at it the first day i arrived and now i most probably have the Californian twang going! So everyone get ready for me! So seeing as we have no time left we decided it was about time to do something cool, so over a game of volleyball a group of us decided we wanted to go to San Francisco, and it was done, after convincing our manager to give us a few extra days off, we headed off! It was kind of a road trip, we stopped every few miles and saw all the cool sights, there was this funky urinal at this hotel that we stopped for, there were cotton fields which we decided were great for finding out what it really was like, and the James Dean memorial where he died, so it was really interesting! Hopefully some of these photos have more meaning now! We stopped at Jen’s house (Her and Kev were two people that worked with us at Bacara) and it was all out farmer bill stuff going on, we climbed hay bails, rode tractors and played basketball! Oh ye, another cool thing about our trip, trucks stops, they are the bomb, firstly they have the best stores with more candy than you can find anywhere else, and then there are also the interesting people, I wanted a photo with a biker from the hells angels, and Craig wanted to sit in a 52 wheeler truck, but we both though it wise not to! So it was an interesting trip up, and the wonka glasses show how much fun it was, until the part when I was bursting for the toilet and stuck in rush hour San Francisco traffic, but luckily we made it to our motel before any accidents! We managed to do so much while we were there, Fisherman’s Wharf, The Golden Gate Bridge, which was so much fun to walk, and amazing, The Haight (which was the place during the Hippie era, so mom and dad’s time!), and we ate so much food, i think i've put every pound back on, so for all of u that were worrying, fear not clam chowder came to save the day! Oh ye, and this was all over my birthday, I kind of forgot, I’m 20 now, yes I know, I’m old and I can feel the arthritis settling in! But I was spoiled so much, and now I am the proud owner of a car, yes, it’s sitting at home waiting for me so I’ve got to think up a name for it, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! So we went out for a meal to this lively place, and had a great time, which involved Kevin being really enthusiastic over the Monday night football. We also went onto Alcatraz, and for those of you who are like Alice and have no clue what that is it’s the infamous prison that held some of the states most notorious people, we saw Al Capone’s cell, and Machinegun Kelly’s, it’s was a really interesting place, and what better way to end the trip than a meal at the Hard Rock. The ‘City’ as it’s called is really cool, and you have to go there at least once to check it out! We stayed the night on the farm again, and I got a cake, yup Jens mom got all motherly and baked me a cake, kinda made me feel like part of the family and wished my mom had backed a cake with my name on it and sent in through, but no, that didn’t happen! Humph! Jokes mom, I’m expecting it when I come home!! So ye, it was great to venture north of Bacara seeing as that had been the furthest north we had ventured, and at least we got to do it in time, cos the clock is ticking, so I’m going to put some more photos up, I hope you like, and go grab a coffee cos’ I know you need to be woken up now after reading all this mumbling crazy mans writings!
