Hello to all!
Today was our only Monday left to teach because the next two Mondays are no school days. Although that might seem exciting, it's actually sad because already, the time is flying by here! We are in our second week and have so many experiences and sightseeing under our belt.
Focusing on our weekend highlights, group trips to Alcatraz, Alamo Park, Haight-Ashbury, the Ferry Boats, the Fisherman's Wharf, China Town's "House of Nanking" (thanks to Liz!), and North Beach Pizza were prime for bonding and a release from school all week. After hitting a few bumps in the road with the bus system, I think we may have actually gotten the hang of it finally!
My favorite place to visit thus far was Haight-Ashbury, the historic "Hippie" town. Though the streets are lined with new stores, there is also a mixture of vintage shops, small grocery stores, and I'm sure delicious restaurants!
And of course, the other favorite was Alamo Park which holds the wonderful "Full House" outside scenery! The group loved taking pictures of the "Painted Ladies" (the name the group of houses is referred to as) and enjoying the BEAUTIFUL sunshine that we are so fortunate to have in January, if you weren't aware :)
Enjoy the rest of our adventures through our class blog!
