First Golden Gate Bridge Sighting :)

Hello from warm (ish,), sunny San Francisco!

Our group of 13 students and one professor is here and loving every second so far! We have bus passes already so we are free to travel all around. Caty and I hopped on a (very turbulent) plane this morning and made it to our hotel around 2 after meeting up with Liz at the Oakland airport. We're not really in a hotel.. It's technically called a residence club, but from what I know it's kind of like a hostel? I'm not really sure... But it has character, that's for sure! But our room has Christmas lights so it feels like home :) We walked to Whole Foods, got some food and our bus passes, and then Caty and I went on an adventure downtown to find the school district building where we have our meeting in the morning. Turns out the building is just some numbers on a canvas in front of the space.. Hopefully we found the right place! Guess we'll find out in the morning. Caty is the TA for the trip so she gets to do a lot of planning all the fun stuff for our group to do... It's a great plus to have a roommate who always knows where you're supposed to be and what you're supposed to be doing!

But by dinner, our whole group was here. We get free breakfast and dinner at the hotel-thing every day (which is a huge blessing) so it's fun to get to share the meals together. It's going to be a fun group and a fun trip :) We find out school placements tomorrow and start in our schools early Wednesday morning! Praying that the laughter, safety, and memories continue to flood in :)
