California Trip

Sacchin and Maki have just returned from their California trip and they have so many stories to tell. The girls literally roamed around the State in the middle of winter. It was good that the weather cooperated during their first week of stay there.

Maki had fun touring Old Sacramento. Her first stop was the Old Sacramento visitor's center where she found a lot of historical artifacts about the state capital's past!

From here, Maki visited the State Capitol Gardens where she found native plants and trees of California. There were also several monuments there honoring Californians who fought in the Vietnam and World Wars.



Maki also went skiing and snowboarding at the Boreal Ski Resort! Hmmm... it looks like she's shivering in this photo though!





Of course Sacchin also went around California. Maki and her went to see the Muir Woods National Monument. They walked on trails surrounded by redwoods that are thousands of years old! Maki took this photo of a dazed Sacchin in the woods.


From the woodlands, the girls went to the Muir Historic Overlook. This was used by American forces to watch out for enemies coming from the Pacific Ocean during World War II. Of course, these became obsolete after the invention of radars.

The girls were told that on a clear day, one can have a stunning view of the city of San Francisco, including its landmark Golden Gate bridge. Maki and Sacchin enjoyed watching the sunset from there.



Another site the girls enjoyed was the Sundial Bridge at the Turtle Bay Exploration Area. The bridge is hailed as a stunning engineering and architectural wonder. It crosses the historic Sacramento River. The girls were told that the sundial doesn't work during winter because of the sun's position. However, it is highly accurate during the summer solstice in July.



Unfortunately, it started to rain the following week and the girls had no choice but to stay home. Some friends dropped by to cheer them up and play with them. It was still raining by the time the girls left for the Philippines.

Maki and Sacchin is in Sacramento, California for twelve days. The night before their trip, Mashi threw a party for them and some really cute girls dropped by to wish them a happy and safe trip.

Mashi prepared egg tarts and cold drinks. Rei enjoyed the food that she couldn't stand up anymore for this picture.

Anyway, Maki and Sacchin arrived safely in Sacramento and still have jetlag so they couldn't post pictures. Hopefully they could get used to the time difference and the cold of course so they could start posting more photos.
