Today we drove to San Francisco. My sister and I dived straight into the pool. The drive was about an hour and a half. Even though the word weren't twisty like yesterday, I still felt carsick. But at least the journey wasn't that long. In California, it isn't as sunny as you'd think it would be. It is bright, but it's cold. Or breezy, as you might say. So if you are planning to go there, don't bring like, your summer clothes and sunglasses, bring a jacket! Today out in the town I was wearing a t-shirt and a cardigan and I was shivering. In the tv show, That's So Raven at the beginning it shows the Golden Gate Bridge then a cable-car going up a hill to her house. We saw the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance, all misty when we went out for dinner. We went out to town in the cable cars. In San Francisco there are hills, with hills on top, that the cable-cars go up and down every day. Today, we went on a cable-car up and down those hills. And on those hills there are houses. I have noticed the difference of houses in Boston, New York, L.A and San Francisco. In Boston, the houses are made of wood on the outside, usually with no fences to separate each house. In New York, well I didn't see the actual houses there, only from the aeroplane, but most people live in apartments. In L.A, they live in expensive big houses with a swimming pool or tennis court in the back garden, and most houses have big glass windows. In San Francisco, most of the houses are on the street, going up the hills. Some have old fashioned town house big windows on the front of the house, with bright colours like pink, blue, yellow or light orange. I've seen a few that are painted bright yellow or light orange with big square windows with one of the top rooms a level higher than the others, with a diamond flat shaped roof on top. When we got off the cable-car, we looked around at some shops. We went into a 2 storey book-shop. It seems that every book-shop in America has at least 2 floors in it. My dad and I say that we should have those type bookshops in Ireland, too! After that we went to a fish restaurant for dinner. My sister and I aren't huge fans of fish, so we chose pasta. After dinner, our mum told us that we are going more inland tommorrow. I can't remember if we'll still be in San Francisco, or if we'll be in Las Vegas; I'm really tired! Goodnight!
