This morning we went ona bus sightseeing tour of San Francisco. It was great. We saw the church where Joe D'magio (not sure about the spelling) and Marilyn Monroe. Interesting fact about the church is that it doesn't have an street address. The city wanted the church to have the number 666 and as you probably can understand, that is not a number a church want to be associated with.
We also saw the house that Jimi Hendrix lived in when he got discovered. Also a house that have large female legs sticking out of a window. Funny.
We also got another opportunity to see the Golden Gate Bridge. More great photos.
We jumped off the bus at the Golden Gate Bridge Park. It is huge, but the main part you have to pay to get in to and we didn't think it was worth it. An interesting fact about the park is that the first 2 park superintenders had different views on how the park should look like. The first thought there should be statues in the park but the second didn't. So when he took over he planted trees and shrubs in front of them and over time the statues got covered. When the second guy passed away the City decided to chop the trees down so now you can see the statues again.
The city erected a statue of the second superintendent, the whole of 5 feet tall. Well, I guess it is still a statue though very small.
The weather was yet again very varm and we both got sunburned.
When we arrived at San Francisco Airport we got on a 1 hour earlier flight. The Delta guy at the check-in took us through the security. We went in front of other people, and we didn't have to do the x-ray thingy. Made us feel like really special.
We are now at LAX and waiting for our flight to leave. Just over 2 hours to go.
New Zealand, here we come
