... Young Museum King Tut was holding forth and neither of us wished to see it again,<br>We entered the new museum of natural history. A beautiful huge open building with glass walls androom dividers. In the middle- a 4 story rain forest environment that you walk up to the top by the way of a circular ramp.We were inside a sort of bioshere but all the living things- fish, animals, birds, insects, and unbelieveably beautiful butterflies were all living. It was a great ...

... tez sympatycznego), udalo nam sie doskonale. Pranie uprane i wysuszone tak dobrze, ze w wiekszosci nie trzeba nawet prasowac. W miedzyczasie wypilismy po jasminowej herbatce w pijalni herbaty obslugiwanej przez sympatyczna Chinke (bardzo tu duzo sympatycznych ludzi - w sklepach nie witaja zwyklym "dzien dobry", ale "jak ci leci").<br>Ola mimo chlodu wykapala sie w basenie. <br>Kolacja na wynos w KFC - nic nadzwyczajnego, ale za to tanio.<br>

... solitary confinement cell I could not imagine how anyone could survive that terrible torture, being locked up without light. I was shivering just being there. As expected we did not have enough time on Alcatraz as there was so much still to see: wonderful trails, gardens and bird life. Moral of the story if you are going to Alcatraz book well in advance, give yourselves lots of time (and have lots of camera batteries with you). <br><br>After the ferry ...

... jatkuvasti rantoja, surffareita ja todella komeita maisemia. Palattuamme Friskon keskustaan autonavigaattori alkoi odotetusti sekoilemaan korkeiden rakennusten aiheuttaman GPS-katveen takia, mutta löysin kuitenkin hotellimme viereiselle parkkihallille suhteellisen nopeasti ilman GPSsääkin. Jätimme auton parkkihalliin Sutter-kadulle ja palasimme Baldwin-hotelliimme.<br><br>Illalla teimme vielä pienen kävelylenkin hotellimme vierest ...

... were getting plenty of notice and positive comments. We stopped a few times to exchange swaps and once to use the restroom. We checked in and recieved our shirts, wristbands and patches for the bridging. Just as we were ready to get in line for the shuttle, Joanie remembered that the spirit stick was still in the van!!! Someone had to retreive it.... . It was either Nat or Joanie but the condition was that whoever ...

... for those of you who don't know I just converted to a Mac) and yes SOON you will all be getting blasts of the pics from the last year that I owe you &amp; I vow to never let it go that long again! Until I get hungry for dinner and hold onto your seats - I got a turkey sandwich from "Blue Barn Gourmet" on Chestnut St. - as the menu describes "old fashioned turkey breast, goat cheese, sundried tomatoes, watercress &amp; pesto aioli on ciabatta" - can you ...

... Hill opposite which offered fine views back over the area we had just visited and down to the waterfront, Alcatraz and the Bay. Once again, I was incredibly impressed with San Francisco as a city to explore on foot - the whole place was thorougly accessible despite the occasionally steep gradients. Not only that, the place had a very habitable feel; we passed schools and pretty but affordable-looking houses and flats, quiet streets and people going about ...

... at fireworks. It was busy and sociable there with live music and lots of people. It was only half an hour, from half past nine till 10 o'clock but it was one of the most beautiful fireworks I have ever seen. In spite of that it even was a little foggy what gave the colors a mysterious look, it was really beautiful. We had not yet seen fireworks in the form of a smiley before. After the fireworks we wanted to return to ...

... Had a great Chinese Meal just off Union Square for $8, amazing !!!  Then ended up in an Irish Bar ( of all places ) called Johnny Foleys which is just round the corner from the hostel. Now off to get a Greyhound coach to San Diego, it is over 500 miles south along the californian coast, so hopefully the weather should be a bit better there ( near mexican border ) Am travelling over night, and am booked into a hotel for 2 nights. Here's hoping I leave the rain behind...................

... in DF geblieben und habe Oscar, seinen Brud** und Diana wied**getroffen. Bei Diana und Ihr** Familie bin ich fu** ein paar Naechte unt**gekommen, bevor ich zu meinen Trip zum Popo-Izac National Park aufgebrochen bin. Das Glueck blieb mir treu, wobei ich mich in Amecameca (Ort am Vulkan Popocatepetl) eine wenig wie bei Lost in Translation gefuehlt habe. Fu** meinen Wand**trip habe ich auf dem Markt eingekauft - viel zu viel und viel zu teu**. Mit ...
