TEXT ONLY AT THE MOMENT AS I AM IN A BREAK... MORE LATER
Today was a good day – had new experiences – some out of the comfort zone but learnt that if you ask someone then they may be able to help.
Left the other hotel and went to the Westin St Francis where the Adobe Education Leaders Summit is being held. Just going into the lobby showed this place was going to be great. When I checked in they said the room was already available so off I went to find it – 4th floor room 425 sir said the guy at the desk – take the elevators past the clocks and turn left… sounded easy but he worked here… after a while I had to ask a porter - see I asked for directions…. And found the right elevastor. This place is so big you have to take the right elevators or you end up in the wrong part of the hotel !!!!
The room is great and I have a view of Union Square – I will go out Monday and take a photo to show where my room is ! Unpacked and decided where to go !
Figured that the trip to Saulsalito would be best done on the bus so caught the right bus eventually and ended up in the right place. It was a nice little “town” by the sea – very quiet too. It was there that you realised how NOISY the city was – but you get use to it - a lot less people in Saulsalito tho !
After a look around it was time to get back to the “City” !!!! The ferry ride was great – a bit bumpy tho and they took us right past Alcatrez –
looked a very scarey place. Then it was back to the wharf and a short walk back to Union Square – with a map in hand, the right street was found and off we trecked.
Later that night I had a few phone calls from the children back in NZ. Great to catch up – here thenews and talk to them but I think we need to tell them about time zones as their evening times is VERY LATE here…. The thing is don’t call me after 3 o’clock NZ time !!!!!!
Looking forward to tomorrow as we start the AEL part.. this trip has been fantastic, seen a loty of things, gone to places I would not dream about ! A good day !
