Today we took the subway to the bus, the bus to the train, the train to San Francisco, another bus from SF to the Hostel. It was a long day of traveling. The Amtrak train was especially nice. Not a lot happened today, just lots of transfers. Everything and everyone was well. The kids are having lots of fun hanging out and getting to know each other. It was another good day.
We got to the hostel about 8:00 and got into our rooms and had pizza downstairs. After that, most of the kids went for a group walk along Fisherman's Wharf. One thing that really impresses me is how frugal this group is. Some have pitched in together to buy bread, meat and cheese for sandwiches to share on these long traveling days. They just don't waster their money on junk. You can tell they are making smart choices and stretching their money as far as possible. You don't see that in many American kids. I am really impressed.
Today's picture is the group picture from yesteday in front of the Getty. We have 50 kids, 7 chaperones. Tomorrow will be a fun day starting with a bike ride over the Golden Gate Bridge.
Thanks for blogging your tour. It sounds like an awesome experience. I wish I knew how to teach my children to be more frugal with their money.
