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.
