This blog i have entitled "the self portraits of a road tripper". When you are by yourself and having to take your own photos... you have a lot of these type of pics. so i thought i would share them with you and let you all see that i am alive and well and enjoying myself.

this photo on your left is of my first reaction coming over the mountain and through the tunnel looking at the golden gate bridge in all it's beauty!
the "i think i took a wrong turn somewheres" look. ... verses the "i'm sitting on the beach looking out over the OCEAN" look!

City Amanda, meet Sunset Amanda!

Hello crazy hair!

Contemplating the beauty of it all...
THUMBS UP! i'm at a water front harbour!and now i am standing in the water while i'm hiking through Fern Canyon! man alive that was cold water!
FERN CANYON... if only i could have captured the drive to Gull Beach and Fern Canyon... it was the craziest and coolest road i have ever traveled in my life.

PACIFIC CITY! in the rain... dancing on the beach... without a care in the world.
It was really rainy.
It wasn't so rainy here though...
not really sure what i am looking at here but this was while i was on a hike up to see a fun little water falls. it was gorgeous... and cold.
And thus ends this blog write up... with me driving in queen latifa. Tomorrow i will be starting a new adventure as i leave San Francisco and head on to RENO! i'm pretty stoked and apparently according to the momma i HAVE TO gamble 20$! so i'm stoked about that too...
Oh i guess i should tell you all what i did today. i didn't just go and take all these self portrai pictures! My camera battery has died on me and i haven't recharged it yet so i didn't have photos from today to put on this blog.... hence, the recap of past adventures.... But today i did have many adventures! i decided that i wanted to go down to china town, however i ended up taking the long way and went through Market Square and then through Union Square and back around through Yerba Buena Gardens where there was a huge music festival going on .... It felt like i was in victoria prak, although WAY more beautiful... right downtown surrounded by a bunch of tall fancy buildings and really old churches. I sat and listened to some Native American music and drank a Strawberry and Creme Frapp. from starbucks... which, bytheway, they ARE on every street corner! After the music I went on another long walk, through downtown and i got to see the HUGEST buildings and very interestingly designed artsy buildings. ANd i walked by the SFFD and saw huge firetrucks... mind you, i could here them everyday at least three or four times driving up and down the streets. So when i finally got to china town, i realized that i couldn't understand anything that was going on around me nor could i read any of the signs and every was my height... so i kinda fit in, but completely NOT. so i left. and then i returned back here to the hostel around 6ish after being out and walking for about 8 hours. but NO blisters this time! woop woop!!

okay, well... i think i'm going to go for a smoothie with some of the girls here... maybe, if they are still awake.

take care everyone who reads this... which apparently is only about two people. so I love you both and good night!
