Starved For Your Attention... starved for your attention

Oh San Francisco, how I love thee.

So it's been A few days since I arrived, and I've done so much already! In many ways it all feels like a dream.
Flights on the other hand weren't such a dream. It's a lot harder to get comfy when you don't know the person next to you, and feel afraid to move for fear of disturbing them.

But after a 12 hour flight, a 2 hour delay, and a 1 hour flight, I made it.

I can't really be bothered to make this an eloquent post so you're just gonna get the bare headlines. Apologies.



The Golden Gate bridge was covered by the morning fog when we (Aunty Doris, my cousins Kaelyn and Nalei, and myself) drove across it, but it was beautiful nevertheless and after an hour or so of chilling at the other side it cleared up well. Tres belle, and helped it hit home that I had really arrived.



Went into downtown San Fran yesterday and caught the tram down and around to the pier. Such an awesome ride, with such great views of the city. Had a lot of fun hanging on to the side, although the wind decided to play havoc with my dress at times. Forward planning next time :/
I took a video returning from the pier which gets some really good views along the way. Unfortunately I didn't know that you can't hold the camera at a portrait angle for taking video. Another thing to remember for next time. Here it is anyway:



It's been amazing so far, and I'm so grateful for my American family looking after me - and humouring me - so well.

It is strange being in a city so large. The crowds are a constant reminder that I am certainly only a visitor to this beautiful city. A little overwhelming, for sure.
