San Francisco

---

Travel from Ottawa to San Francisco was a breeze - we were in our hotel room around the time the plane was supposed to arrive in San Fran. I was surprised to see such a variety of different plants - various trees, and flowers - huge pots of cyclamen, 4 foot high jade plants.

It was a blustery, cold, rainy day with a few bursts of sunshine - pretty typical for San Fran at this time of year according to our cabbie. We took advantage of the interesing network of public transportation and rode up and down the hills of San Fran in cable cars. We are now sitting in the VIP lounge waiting for our flight to Auckland - let the real adventure begin!

Do you realize you were a stone's throw from the Pebble Beach golf tournament this weekend? Thought by many to be the nirvana of golf. Anyway, safe journey to Auckland and thanks for the chance to live vicariously through you. Its too bad that Dick has let himself go already - I bet those hills are going to be tougher than he thought. At least he's smiling!
