Hey everyone! Sorry It's been such a long time since I've posted. It's been really crazy up here :(
So since I've last posted here are some big things that have happened:
Homecoming
San Francisco
So Homecoming...
It was so great, but it was really weird being in the middle of a huge city again. All of the traffic and people were a bit overwhelming at first, but then it began to feel like home again.
It was so nice to be able to see friends and family again, even though it was only for a short time. It was such a blessing to spend time with people.
San Francisco...
Was so much fun!!!
Day 1: We stopped by NASA and got to see two speakers along with several neat space artifacts and models including a piece of the moon. Then we made our way to the Legion of Honor Museum, which was full of beautiful art as is expected :) After we got to the hotel we had free time to roam the city.
Day 2: In the morning we went to Grace Cathedral, which was absolutely gorgeous! Inside there was a labyrinth that I did, which provided a great time of reflection for me of how God has presented Himself to me throughout my life. Then after lunch we had free time for the remainder of the day. During this time me and several others went to Height Ashbury for the morning to go "thrifting" which didn't go so well considering that every used article of clothing was still way to expensive for your average college student. Then we took public transit up and down the San Fran hills to Pier 39 where we witnessed two sea lions battle for dominance. I took a video of the whole thing...it was hilarious and way more entertaining than people fighting. Hopefully I'll have time to put it up sometime soon. We had dinner by the Pier at an amazing bread place that I don't remember the name of, but they are famous for their sourdough. Then of course we had to make our way to Ghirardelli Square :) On our way back home we went through Chinatown and we passed two Banksy paintings, which were really cool to see in person :) To top off the evening we all cuddled and watched Princess Diaries (had to...takes place in San Fran :)
Day 3: After checking out of the hotel we made our way to the De Young Museum, which had a huge variety of artwork. My favorite piece was a Catheral made out of bullets and gun parts. This piece spoke a lot of the hypocrisy in churches, which I could really reflect upon (I could share my thought but that would take hours). Then sadly we had to depart San Francisco and head back home to God's Wilderness.
---Overall, it was a fantastic weekend. We got to encounter and bless so many people while we were just walking around the city. Although it was a bit overwhelming and scary because of how fast paced it was I think it was really good for us to get out of our "High Sierra" bubble and get out into the "real world".
