Imagine if the whole of this land shook again
It was my 29th birthday, Sunday 16th April.

My flight from Mexico City to San Francisco took around 5 hours, and I arrived at 7pm.

I checked in to the hotel, and got unpacked. I decided to go out to get some water from a grocery store, and as I was crossing the road, I was knocked over by a speeding taxi. Was taken to hospital by ambulance and was in the emergency ward for 5 hours. Luckily I escaped with cuts and many bruises, but was not serious. All on my birthday.

The next day I did a tour of the City, saw the fabulous Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz prison, despite being in pain!!
