Park Guell

In Spain there is a really cool park called Park Guell.  At Park Guell there are many things including a room with 100 columns which has a really cool mosaic ceiling and on the roof there is the world`s longest bench which is 100% mosaic with great views of the park.  There is also a really cool museum that is Brown a spicky roof and a high column.  The building next to it is exactly the same but
without the column.  That is not it because I cannot describe it all.  See you on the next post.  Bye!

CAPOEIRA BATIZADO (PRESENTATION)

Every year the capoeira school I go to has a presentation.  At the presentation we have a workshop and then we fight masters.  The same night we sometimes have a show.  This year the show was what happened 100 years ago.  We were sitting in a circle asking a guy questions.  The whole show was a story he was telling us.

LEFT HANDED STORE

.At Pier 39 there is a store that is only for left handed people. I love going there because they have stuff there that you don't think about as a right handed person. For example they have rulers, notebooks, scissors, compasses, pencils, pens, markers, colored pencils, & even mugs that if a right handed person uses it will spill on you. There was also a funny hat that said: " I am a left handed person but I am always right"

POINT BONITA

Point Bonita is a lighthouse in the Marin Headlands.  I went there with my uncle my aunt & my mom. When you get there you have to go a long way before you get to the lighthouse.  After you are almost at the lighthouse you need to go on a swaying bridge.  When you get to the lighthouse you can go inside the lighthouse there is a map of all the shipwrecks in the bay area. If you look at the map closely you will see that most of the shipwrecks happened at Point Bonita.

GALETTE DES ROIS

Every year on January 6 the french do a celebration called Galette des Rois. For galette du Rois you have a special almond paste cake  with a prize inside it. Somebody hides under a table & calls out names. If your name is called you get a piece of cake. The person who calls out names gets the cake last. If you get the prize  that is in the cake you are king or queen for the day & gets to choose a king for the day , queen for the day , or servant for the day. The servant has to clean the cake. If you are king or queen for the day you get a crown.

This is the feve that I got on January 6.

That is the picture of me as king on January 6. 

SAM RIVER OTTER

Yesterday I went Sutro Baths with my uncle & my aunt. We went to Sutro Baths to see Sam the River Otter. Nobody knows how he got there. Most people think he swam from Marin others think he got a ride on a boat. Sam is in between 18 months & 2 years old. Sam the River Otter is under 2 feet long.

A crane (on the bottom right) was looking at Sam (near the middle).  Sam & the crane were friends
where ever Sam would go the crane would follow him. Sam's favorite spot was in the midle of the grass. It is his favorite spot because it is where people dump there gold fish. The crane had a hard time following Sam.

MAC & CHEESE

My mom & I were looking for the best mac & cheese in the city.  Our favorite is Grub because they have a mac & cheese bar. To get mac & cheese you get the regular & add stuff on it. My favorite combo is : regular with Goat Cheese, Truffle Oil & bacon. It is really good because every sauce is very different. Grub opens at 6 pm. They have a lot more then mac & cheese but mac & cheese is my favorite. It's better to get there right at 6 because it gets crowded.

ROCK CLIMBING

At Mission Cliffs you can get a belaying lesson for $5. The belaying lesson is an hour long.
Mission Cliffs is better than Planet Granet because you can rent climbing shoes but at Planet Granet you have to buy them. Mission Cliffs smells better than Planet Granet: Planet Granet smells like sweat but at Mission Cliffs doesn't  like anything. Mission Cliffs is much cheaper than Planet Granet. It is very easy for your parents to get a belaying lesson.
