Blog Entry: San Francisco China Town Ok so were in San Fran and we finally get to go see the city. We parked the truck in a parking garage and set off. The first shop we saw was an Scottish kilt store. My Mom has always wanted my Dad to get a kilt so we all went in. The first thing Amelia and I did was go straight for the candy and wow their candy was Amazing! It was all from Scotland so we had to buy a lot so we could try it all. When we left I had four candy bars and they were all Amazing. Dad tried on a few kilts and he didn’t look too bad. Then we set of to China town. On the way to China town we had to walk through a tunnel and Mom almost had a freak out but she did really good, I was amazed. In China town we found some really cool clothes shops and I got two really cute skirts, one is long and brown and the other one is white with brownish gold swirls. I also got pair of blue shorts. That was all the shopping that I did. There were so many cool shops that we went in but they all sold the same stuff so I don’t know how they made any money. We all got hungry so we found a place to eat. After mom ordered the food we went up to the bathrooms and the ceiling was so short that I could touch the top without standing on my toes it was so cool! We all talked and hung out until the food was served. We got orange chicken and two or three different kinds of beef and one other kind of chicken. It was all so good. After we ate we found a Chinese bakery and got some treats. The bakery was the oldest one there and the sign said it was there before the Great Depression. I only liked two of the things we got. One of them was called a sweet bowtie or something like that and the other one was called a lacy, I think, but they were really good and really sticky. We walked around china town a little longer then we headed back towards the truck. We finally got to ride the trolley and it was so cool. But we didn’t know you had to pay for both ways so we had a really long walk back. We found a really cool church and went in. They were doing something and a man with a cape would walk up and down the aisle with a big stick. It was called the Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem Knights Hospitaller Under Royal Charter and Constitution Granted by His Majesty King Peter 2 it’s a really long name i know but if you have a long name aren’t you more important? My names just Zoē but I’m still pretty cool right? They also had a really cool exhibit the backdrop for it was a fence and hanging on it was a picture and the story of someone that had been shot. Some of the stories were from really young kids. It was really sad because some of them would never walk again just because some one had a gun. It’s weird to think how one thing can change someone’s life so fast. You can never go back and change it. If it causes death that’s just something that who ever pulled the trigger will have to live with for the rest of there life. One man was shot 15 times and he lived. Right outside the church there was a sidewalk art showing and it was really cool. I found a picture that I really loved. It was these trees and a really pretty greenish blue lake but it was really expensive so I didn’t get it. We keep walking back and we stopped every now and then to take pictures. We stopped at one more shop on the way to the truck I don’t know what it was called but it was Amazing. They had these T.V.s that looked like an apple and the middle of it would open and be a TV it was so cool and they had a huge fire truck fireplace that was way cool I wish you could have seen it. Well I wish I could tell you more but Auvi’s making lunch so I got go. Laters Zoē
