Hello everyone! Well i arrived in San Francisco yesterday after an 11 hour flight! Got to the hostel which is in Union Square - really central and near loads of designer shops (which is a shame cos we can only look!). We spent last night settling in and had a look round the local area - there are so many homeless people everywhere you look. We've worked out that you must get money for recycling stuff cos they were collecting tins/bottles out of the bins! spent ages in a little cafe over the road from the hostel people watching - excellent view and there are so many different people walking by! Everyone seemed to have either an ipod or a starbucks coffee!! Today we're going to venture out further and perhaps go on an open top bus so we can decide what we want to do for the next couple of days.
