It was so pretty when we woke up in our train car in the mountains this morning. I wish we could have stayed longer to go take a walk and look for bears.

After a very long continuos drive and at least one full tank of fuel we arrived in San Francisco.

We had no time to stop and admire the view, as we had to rush down to Silicone Valley to meet Laurence (from Dundee) and his girlfriend.

Laurence works at Pixar, designing the hair on monsters which sounds like the coolest job ever. He took us to the Cheesecake Factory which was a lot fancier than the name would suggest.

We had teriaki salmon for lunch which was delicious, especially as it was the first thing we'd eaten all day.

After lunch, Laurence took us on a tour of Stanford University.

It was huge and put all of our Scottish Universities to shame. The campus was bigger than the whole town of St. Andrews.

It was cool to look around but we couldn't stay long as the Dodge had been making strange noises on the way down and we wanted to take it to the garage to be looked over.

We got the car to the garage just before it closed, who said it would need to come in the next day. Luckily, we managed to drive it to Grazia's house, which was an amazing home filled with animals and her family were so welcoming and nice.
