A Day In Downtown San Fran!

Sunday was filled with a lot of exciting events. We started the day with Alcatraz. We learned about the history, and the way the inmates were controlled over a wonderful audio tour. We then made our way to a tour of the city which included Ghirardelli Square. We stopped at the original chocolate shop in San Francisco to pick up a nice little treat. After a sweet tooth, we started our tour of the city. Our first stop was at the legendary Lombard Street. After a long walk up the hill, we took some breath taking pictures, and made our way to what else but the Golden Gate Bridge. There we also took some great pictures. We then finished our day with the world famous Mamma Mia!

Alcatraz, Mamma Mia, and More!

We started out the day with a trip to Alcatraz where we got to see the cells of infamous prisoners and hear about their lives in confinement. We took the ferry back to Pier 39 for a quick lunch and visited Ghirardelli Square! We had a tour of San Francisco that included a walk up Lombard Street and a visit to the Golden Gate Bridge. We ate a great meal at Hunan Home in Chinatown and ended the night with a FANTASTIC performance of Mamma Mia!

Stairway to Heaven

One of my favorite moments today is something that miraculously includes physical activity, which to most people who know me well is probably a bit of a shock. Trecking up and back down the crooked (and famous) Lombard street had to be all of a half an hour at most, and believe me, there was a lot of uneasiness at exercising our muscular endurance following our Gharardelli excursion. However, the stretching of our hamstrings turned out to be so worth it- the view was of course breathtaking, and standing a top the hill with the city sprawled out beneath us was insane in more ways than one. This short experience that could to some be considered another of the many stops we made today turned into a totally unmissable experience to share with some of our closest friends and definitely made today memorable. #swag

A Day At The Sea

Yesterday was filled with lots of driving and exploring as we headed down the coast to Carmel and Monterey.  We stopped several times along the way to see some great landmarks, and we know the students will look forward to sharing what they've learned upon their arrival.  Some highlights include...

Stopping for some deep-fried artichoke in Castroville:

Visiting the Lone Cypress on the famous 17 Mile Drive:

Finding time to share our treats:

The Freshman Choir members at the beach:

The Carmel Mission:

Monterey Bay

What a day! After breakfast we loaded the buses and went for a 17 mile drive along the beautiful California coast. Made a few stops along the way to take pictures on the beach. Afterward, we headed to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, where we got to enjoy the wonders of the sea, it was gorgeous! Finally, we finished the night with a delicious meal at Bubba Gump and headed back to the hotel.
