Hasta Luego Cancun.. Hello San Francisco!! It was a bit sad to leave Cancun, especially since i ended up staying in the same hostel for 10 days and had time to get a lot of good friends there! For those of you who are planning a trip to Cancun, Ka'Beh Hostel is highly recommended ;-) My last day I went to "Chichen Itza" which is one of "The new 7 wonders of the world". It is a large archaeological site built by the Maya civilization and contains many fine stone buildings in various states of preservation. We had a guide there who spoke about the use and meaning of the buildings, and it was very impressive to learn how much knowledge about the world and the universe they had almost 2000 years ago! And it was interesting that the Maya culture were similar to the Incas, even if they never had any connection with each other. Yesterday I spent the whole day travelling.. and arrived in San Francisco in the evening. Today two of the kids in the family I'm staying with and I went to San Francisco downtown. I had decided to by myself a MacBook here, since its quite much cheaper than in Norway.. So, I went to buy one in the apple store downtown:-) After that we took a ride with the famous cable car down to Fisherman's Wharf. Even though SF is known for its hills and steep streets, I was quite fascinated by how hilly it actually was! At Fisherman's Wharf we tasted some seafood for lunch and walked down the pier to catch the ferry to Alcatraz. It was a really nice and sunny day, so I got a very good view of the city from the ferry, beautiful:-) On Alcatraz we got some headphones with a audio guide that guided us through the whole prison, which was very interesting! Since The Rock was one of my favorite movies when I was younger, seeing Alcatraz by my own eyes was pretty cool! After that I we went back home, and I have just been playing with my new toy :-)
Tomorrow i plan to go to the gym with the boys, and watch a baseball match in the evening, other then that i have no plans yet!

Gammelkue Hei og hå Lesskue. Mormor videresendte mail fra deg. Jeg er blå av misunnelse, men unner deg hver meter av opplevelser og erfaringer. Jeg har såvidt vært i Huarez da jeg var i militære I Fort Bliss El Paso. Da var det trygt å bevege seg over alt i den byen som nå holdes for være verdens farligste. Glad at du holdt deg unna. God klem fra Gammelkue
