San Francisco (Part 3)

Monday we started of a Ghirardelli Square. It was fun and they had different shops that we browsed. We ended up at the sweets shop for some treats. I got a Chocolate Sundae that was simple and delicious!



After Ghirardelli Square we drove over to Golden Gate Bridge to be all touristy. It was great! So very windy but a lot of fun. After walking around at the visitors area we started to walk across the bridge and the wind got crazier so of course we had to let our hair down for a 'wind picture'!

























We left the bridge and headed for the woods! We had been told that we needed to go to Muir woods to see the Redwoods so we did and it was awesome! We went on a hike once paying the admission for the woods and it was lovely. I am a fan of the trees and beauty that surrounds us. Also, the trees were HUGE! It was fun to walk around on the trail that had been created and there were perfect little clovers growing all around. In all it was an awesome, unexpected addition to our trip.






After going to Muir Woods we stopped by Muir beach for a picnic dinner and the possibility of the ocean... We were in California! The beach was a good place and not too busy when we got there. After eating and changing we went and jumped in the water (for a picture of course). It was after taking some jumping pictures that we realized there were jellies on the beach. They we stranded from the tide and we decided we would observe them so using a rock we dug a hole and waited for it to fill with water before putting a jelly in the water. We weren't sure what was up with the jellies but we later found out that they were not poisonous and they were called Gooseberry Jellies. As we were driving away the fog was coming in and it was lovely!

Happenings...

The second half of this week has been an interesting one...

On Wednesday I asked my father if I could borrow the car and he said it was fine. While driving him to work we stopped at a gas station so he could get a drink. As we were leaving the parking lot a driver (Not paying attention at all) hit the car! Nobody got hurt (except the car) but it was still not a comfortable feeling for me... It was not my fault but I was part of a car accident!!! Shocking I know...
Here is the damage
Well after the police came and made a report I took my father to work and hurried on my way to school so as not to be late for class. After class I had to hurry and get ready for the dance lab, my 380 class performed a west coast swing routine during the dance lab. I messed up at the very beginning but other then that it went well.
See...
On Thursday I had medals exams! I tested for my Bronze Latin and my Social Gold classes. For Latin I danced the Rumba and the Samba, I passed with honors and am now qualified to teach it (if for some reason I ever decide to). For Social I danced the Cha-Cha, West Coast Swing, Waltz, and Tango! It was so much fun and I scored the highest score in my class ending up with a rating of high honors!!!! It was really fun for me and I got quite excited!
Then today we had a party in my class and I made some delicious cupcakes! After the party I came home and worked on my IP&T homework and I am proud to say that I only have one more thing to do before I am done with that class forever!!! Ohhh there is one more piece of news but I think I will wait for just a little bit longer before divulging...
