san francisco!

the days are lazy now, we have one week off! but last weekend we went to san francisco. the rain just don't wanted to stop but the rest was just amazing. we went to see cirque du soleil. a kind of circus with a spectacular show. we saw alot of things but i definitely have to go back there.. and it will be in two weeks!! :) but anyway, on sonday kathy, the sister of my hostdad took us down to the pier 39. there are lots of little shops and also a "rest place" for sea lions..

from this place we also saw the the golden gate bridge and the famous prison alcatraz!

the acatraz prison

another exciting thing was the cable cars! back in the 1870 they used horses to transportate people but after a horse accident Mr. Hallidie had inspiration for a calbe railway. 

do you see the rainbow?:)

san francisco is also famous for their victorian houses. they where built in the gold rush but sadly the half of the victorian houses are broke after the earthquake and the fire in 1906. on the right you can see some.

and as we where walking we also met the campers from the occupy wall street. 

i really had a great weekend!

and i'm looking forward to go again.. and what's also very exciting..! my birthday's coming up!! uuhh
