Day 11 (June 13)

     San Francisco, here we come!! Today, we got to sleep in a little bit. We left Los Angeles and started heading to San Francisco at 10. We stopped for a lunch. All of us only had a limited time to eat because we needed to be on time for the schedule. We arrived at the 'de Young' art museum around 3. The museum was really interesting because it did not only have portraits, it also had a lot of ancient objects and statues from places all over the world such as, Greenland and Mexico. There was a picture that had the name of all the countries in the world. It took us a while to find Thailand in it. We really had fun at the museum but sadly, we didn't have enough time to look around everything in the museum.

     After that, we went to the famous 'Pier 39' for the dinner at the 'Bubba Gum Shrimp co.'. A lot of you might have heard about this restaurant before. Yes! It's from the movie 'Forrest Gump' which we were watching along the way on the bus to San Francisco. Before dinner, we had a free time to shop for souvenirs and look around the pier. Surprisingly, the prices of the souvenirs were not as bad as we thought. In fact, they were pretty cheap. We also saw big black creatures hanging around the pier, sea lions!!! They were really adorable. That is why they were famous around here.

    Today was absolutely an amazing day for us because we got to experience a lot of new and interesting things we have never experienced before. This was only the beginning of the trip in San Francisco and we already loved it! See you tomorrow for more fun San Francisco!!
