More pictures to follow next week, when we get home to my computer and editing software, but I’ll try to pull up a few photos on Derek’s computer every night!
We’re spending spring break on a road trip across California to learn more about the culture and history of this state.
Road trip books read thus far: Zia by Scott O’Dell (sequel to Island of the Blue Dolphins, a great look at life for Indians in the CA missions), By the Great Horn Spoon by Sid Fleishman (about the CA gold rush)
Yesterday we drove up to Hearst Castle in the pouring rain. No zebras were visible.
Then in the morning we went over to the beach, where hundreds of elephant seals were hanging out.
Then we drove to San Juan Bautista to see the mission where Vertigo was filmed! Note that the infamous tower was a prop.
Then we drove into San Francisco, where we’re staying for a few days. We’re right up on Fisherman’s Wharf, and tonight we took a stroll along the Bay to get our bearings. That’s Alcatraz in the background–we’re going there on Wednesday!
Looks like some blue skies there.
