Hey everyone. Still in San Francisco but we leave tomorrow to spend a night in yosemite national park before going on to Vegas.

So far we have done a lot of walking. Can't believe how many steep hills there are in this city.

On friday we went to union square and found disney store and victoria's secret. Then we walked all the way down to the wharf and then walked along the embarcardo. For dinner we went to a chinese in chinatown. Our scottish friends turned up late that night.

On saturday we went to union square again, me and jo managed to buy each other's birthday presents and the boys bought nothing because they are rubbish at making decisions. We had a massive lunch at lori's diner. Real 50's american diner. I felt very full afterwards. So we just a subway for dinner and then went to the cinema to watch Indiana Jones.

Today we finally made it to the wax works museum. It was only $10 and you got a lot for your money. Then we wandered around fisherman's wharf for a bit and had some lunch. Mike finally bought some Levi jeans but only under jo's supervision. We walked up a very steep hill to lombard street. It is so steep that they had to make it a windy road so that the cars didn't run away. Its quite pretty.

After that the other went back to the shops and i went in search of halliwell manor from the TV show 'Charmed' (under your instructions christine). I couldn't find it and now i am exhausted from climbing to many hills.

We are hopefully going to drive to golden gate bridge later and get a decent photo. And then tomorrow morning we go to alcatrez.

Lots of love to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
