Lombard Street and Pier 39

On Friday (4/10), we went to San Francisco with Silvia and Siori. On our way there, we stopped at an amazing Basque resturant! Silvia's father was Basque and she wanted to share a little bit of the culture with us. It is one of the best resturants we have been to! We also got to look at pictures of Basque Country and see a Pelota court (A sport played with a ball using one's hand, a racket, a wooden bat, or a basket propulsor, against a wall).

In San Francisco, we went to Pier 39 and down Lombard street. Micah really liked Lombard street. He enjoyed going down the big windy road. Julia was asleep for it, so she didn't notice anything.

Pier 39 was a lot of fun. We walked around and looked in some shops, and we also showed Micah and Julia the Sea Lions. They really enjoyed watching them. Julia was the most excited to see them. Micah liked picking out chocolate in ghirardelli.

After San Francisco, we went back to Silvia and Shuji's home in San Jose and had dinner and visited. Micah was also really excited because he got to build his spongebob lego set with Kenji.

Saturday was our last day in San Jose. That morning, we went to Santana St. (much like Rodeo Dr. in Beverly Hills) with Silvia, Shuji, Siori and Fermin. It is a beautiful street to walk down!

We had a great time on our vacation and we were so happy to be able to spend a week with Kenji's parents! We can't wait to go back!
