just a quick update on the USA so far.
We are in San Francisco and enjoying the city for a while. We have cycled over the Golden gate Bridge (twice) in thick fog and freezing winds and are now making our way around on the Cable cars. We have done the main sights in LA etc. lots of beaches, shopping malls and of course the Holyland AKA Disney.
The drive up Highway 1 was really interesting with lots of nice quite places along teh way. the girls are busy looking for further shells but are disappointed so far even though we stop at just about every beach. makes for slow going on the road!
San fran is turning out to be a blast, a really relaxed and wonderful place. We have not seen everything but arwe dragging the kids around a few places to day before we leave for the northern coast tomorrow. mind you its colder than we thought, sunny days but cold winds.
We have just a week to reach Portland, now about 500miles away so will be travelling up Highway 1 to the Redwoods etc. We have decided to stay along the coast as time is slipping away. At Portland we heading inland to Idaho for a few days.
We are all enjoying ourselves and looking forward to some home comforts very soon.
Love to you all
Bartons
