Adventure in San
Francisco
This morning started our adventure in San Francisco by going
into the city. Cati, Hugo, Harldur and I
went to the harbor to see the Fog Bridge…aptly named because every half hour
about 10 minutes of fog comes out of sprayers, and the 40-feet foot bridge is
enveloped in fog. As 3-yr. old Harldur put it, “The cats can’t go with us
because there’s too much fog!” It was quite an experience.
Our wonderful experiences continued as we entered the nearby
Exploratorium that held all sorts of wonders of science…a large 5-tiered layers
of metal circles that could be submerged in the ocean by pushing a button. That
was fascinating, and the next button inside the Exploratorium made a round
piece of material twirl around out flat as if it were a woman dancer’s skirt.
Another thrill came when Cati sat in a seat about 30 feet away from our seat,
and we could whisper to her and she could still hear us. A special color room
allowed us to walk inside and we could see images of ourselves in varying color
on the far wall. When I waved my arms or legs, it looked like a fan was around
my body. Several other events were equally
intriguing, and the last was a magic card trick shown to us by a magician
there. It was all great fun., and we determined to return there on my next
visit to San Francisco.
We left before we really wanted to, but we had special
people meeting us for lunch at the Ferry Building. The children’s long-time
nanny Lelli met us there, after not seeing her for too long of a time. Also,
Arne came to surprise the boys, and Brandi’s dear friend Sara came to meet all
of us. Sara has just moved to San Francisco and is very pleased to get to make
new friends nearby. What a very sweet young lady. I look forward to seeing her
and meeting her husband and 3 girls the next time I come.
A good time was had by all, and a long afternoon nap and
rest proved it!
Thanks for a lovely day, Harldur, Hugo and Cati,
Nonna
