let the New Zealand Adventure Begin!

After a great week snowboarding in colorado, soaking in natural hot springs, and absolutely falling love with colorado, I sadly made my departure early in the morning and made the 3 hour flight to San Francisco! I watched as the mountains changed from snow covered ridges to green sloping hills. After arriving at the airport, I had a hard time finding my friends. we tried to find each other, not realizing we were at different terminals. After going up and down the escalator, maybe 5 times we eventually we met up and got to the hotel, bodies aching from dragging our luggage around. From there we took my first cab ever into down down! were the driver stopped at green lights and told us to visit the macy's which apparently had 7 floors ( I guess it's a big deal?) o and he told us there was a cheese factory on top haha which was actually a cheese cake factory, I was disappointed I really like cheese.

upon arriving there we ate at Lori's Diner were I had the most spectacular veggie burger ever and a divine strawberry milk shake! then we wandered around the city following the tracks of a trolly car looking like complete tourists whipping out our map every other minute. I also saw the most beautiful man ever. while passing him on his phone my friends and I stared awkwardly and tried to decipher if he was a mannequin or a real person? He didn't more a mussel! in the end he was real. so we ventured on, exhausted from trudging up the steep hills of San Francisco, we took a train back to the air port where a smelly man eating a donut stick tried to get me to buy shoes, then we caught the free shuttle back, enjoyed a quick hot tub and promptly passes out from a great first day of the trip.
