Finally here in San Francisco! It isn't warm at all but not raining which is good.

The flight didn't seem as long as I had expected but none of us really slept at all. We flew over Greenland... it really is melting as much as everyone says! We also made friends with an air steward called Dave who gave us leftover cakes from First Class which were yummy.

Our hotel is nice but it seems to be round the corner from the biggest group of tramps I have ever seen. They all push their stuff around in trolleys and drink out of paper bags like in the films, but they seem totally harmless and more interested in shouting at each other than bothering us. We're also literally 5 minutes walk from Tiffany and Louis Vuitton but I have not allowed myself to go in there yet

Last night we went to a restaurant that had a live Jazz band which was really nice. We had some wine and I think the combination of that, the music and no sleep meant that we were all in bed by half 9! Hopefully tonight we'll be more awake and able to drink lots of cocktails.

Today we're going to China Town and a place called Nob Hill... I love the name of that place but apparently it also has really good views of the city.

That is it I suppose. Photos will be put on as soon as I actually take some decent ones.

Love,
Emma

P.s - sorry if this is the gayest thing you have ever read.
