Following my introduction to North America through Canada, it was time to make my way down the coast to Seattle and on to San Francisco where I’d be meeting up with Dominic for a week of fun, exploring and my birthday. He does indeed get extra points for being the only one to make it to my birthday party.
I caught the train down to Seattle where I spent a couple days exploring as much of the city as I could and taking in some of the history and beautiful views. Although a couple of days is not nearly enough, I did get a really good feeling abut the coffee crazed city and thoroughly enjoyed my time there.
The train down to San Francisco was as scenic as anticipated and a great chance to see some of the beautiful countryside. The city was every bit as picturesque and awesome as I had hoped; naturally meeting up with Dominic added to the vibe. We saw some of the sights, ate amazing food, drank good coffee and beer and generally enjoyed a great holiday. The three day trip to Yosemite was truly amazing and we enjoyed exploring the park and doing some hiking - my absolute best. I could not have asked for a better way to see in the next decade of my life except perhaps to have shared the experience with more friends and family.
Such a beautiful part of the world warrants far more illustration than prose, so I’ll leave it at that.
