CALIFORNIA - SAN FRANCISCO
















Today was kind of a slack day. We wandered around a few shops and then took another bus tour. It was part of the ticket we bought yesterday but this time we went on the park loop. It was a bit more of an architectural tour and we got to see some lovely old Victorian houses. There is a particular part where there is a row of gorgeous Victorian houses called the Painted Ladies. If you think the photo of these (the one of the row of houses with the park in front) looks familiar, then you're right. Especially if you were a fan of the comedy from years ago called "Full House." Which I was. These houses are from the opening and closing credits.
Lesson for the day - painted ladies is a term used for Victorian and Edwardian houses painted in three or more colours.
Excitement for the day - my Mum is here!!!!!!
