Greetings from San Francisco! Jimmy and I arrived to this wonderful city last night to visit my brother Mathews. Despite our plan leaving Costa Rica a few hours late, missing our connection in Houston, having an extremely long layover in Houston and loosing my check-on bag, we were very happy to finish our full day of traveling.
Our first hours in the Unites States have already been an eye-opening experience for Jimmy. It is so fun for me to watch his expressions as he sees my country for the first time, and furthermore to answer all of his questions. He was totally fascinated with the moving walkways. He is awed by all of the rainbow gay flags in San Francisco and the very steep streets. He played ultimate frisbee this morning and was overwhelmed by the game. He drank his vist chai with a perma-smile. He also drank his first micro-brew beer and loved the taste of the amber ale. He is already learning so many new words in English, like "to flush" the toilet. and And ANd AND! The list does not stop.
A highlight of our long layover in Houston was an unexpected visit with our dear friends Amir and Caitlin. They came and picked us up at the airport and took us to an A&W for some fast food. Jimmy's first "real" experience in the USA was the expansive highway system of the country's 4th largest city. We love Caitlin and Amir.
