It's February 11

I arrived yesterday in San Francisco, California, USA. I can not belive I'm fulfilling this dream. Since childhood I've dreamed of knowing movies and cartoons. During my teenage years I have saved money to make this trip and only now when I'm twenty years old everything is possible.

The weather here is very different from what I am used to. We are in winter. There is an intense cold. I'm sitill here for two months. My travel partners are: my friends VIctoria and Helen. We are very united.

We have visited some places like the magnificent Golden Gate bridge that links San Francisco to Saulito. It was wonderful , and how high it was ! I felt like I was in heaven: free and truly alive.

After many photos, we headed to the center where we went to a cafeteria. To be honest, it did not please me: the coffee was very strong. Luckily , right next door was an ice cream parlor , the oldest in the area. There, I felt at ease because the atmosphere was very pleasant and the ice cream was very tasty.

The time passed by very quickly and tomorrow we will see other places such as the Alcatraz Island , Pier 39 , Lombard Strel , the Aquarium of the Bay. I'm very anxious. Hope it's as wonderful as today. Sleep well !
