This has been the most beautiful part of the road trip so far. So far we have gone from desert to stony mountain tops… today we went from large expanses of rolling dry grass valleys all the way up (over 5000 feet above sea level) to the giant Sequoia tree forest then back down to the giant buildings and bridges of San Francisco.

When watching the video, keep your eyes on the landscape and how many times it changes. We are so blessed to live in such a beautiful country.

We have officially arrived in San Francisco, California. What is amazing, and completely coincidental, is the fact that we’re here when the WWDC is here. For those of you non-Apple users, or people who are not technically savvy, the WWDC (World Wide Developer’s Conference) is where and when the Apple, Inc. announces the new products, or updates on products. So, just as a lesson to all you Apple customers, wait until after the WWDC to buy any brand new Apple product. Just a rule to keep in your back pocket.

Not only are we in the same city as the WWDC, but we’re across the street. We can see the Moscone Centre from our hotel room. You can’t miss it. There’s a giant Apple on the side of the building. We walked down there and it was pretty happening. Security was really tight, but the Apple shirts that people were sporting were incredible. I happen to want one, though I haven’t had the chance to inquire where to purchase one.

So before we arrived in San Francisco, we visited the Sequoia National Forest. Actually, our first attempt took us to a random street corner thanks to our wonderfully genius GPS, and then we got to the actual forest. But anyway, you’re like 7000 feet above the ground. Remember how I said I was freaking out at the Grand Canyon which is a mere 5280 feet off the ground? Well I was pretty much hyperventilating here. On top of that, we were in a car, with hairpin turns, sometimes sans guardrails. It was so scary. Half the time, I refused to get out of the van. After we got into the actual Sequoia Forest, it was better. All you see, and smell, are redwoods. Its really cool (temperature) and the trees are huge. Actually, “huge” seems like an understatement. They were gigantahumungabiganormous! And even that can’t even begin to describe how massive these things were. It was beautiful though.

Tomorrow, we’re still going to be in San Francisco. We’re going to be hanging around here for another day or two and it seems to me like there’s a whole lot to do here anyway, so I’m hoping its going to be really cool.

with much love,

PS: if you haven’t had the pleasure and privilege of eating an In-N-Out burger, do me a favor: fly to California, eat one, grab the entire eating establishment and fly it back to Florida. Miami needs In-N-Out!
