I'm here on the farm now and I've left San Francisco behind. It was sad to go but it looks like I left at the right time. I had saved the Golden Gate Bridge or last as I knew it was free and that seeing it was just a simple case of getting there and walking across myself. Check out my awesome pictures.
So that was a little disappointing, but as the fog rolled in through the Golden Gate I moved on up north. It is still dry season here and it goes from really hot in the day to pretty cold in the night. Check out where I'm staying though.
I'm so freakin' Grizzly Addams. Wendy and Peter are great and there is another guy here about the same age as me called Jeff. Jeff seems pretty eager to get me to drive his car which is cool. Personally I'd rather help keep squirrels of the walnut trees though. Peter has an air rifle with a sniper scope so I really want to try that out. An idea for mum and dad maybe?
I haven't seen much in the way of wild animals but I'm told that there are wild deer and turkey here. We're going to have to shoot a turkey soon as well. Wendy says she doesn't like having to prepare them though so I've offered to help. I should at least have a strong stomach from working in the butchers all those years.
I have pictures of all the cats but I don't remember their names yet. There is one cat who looks really cool, the shape of his face is nothing like the usual house cat. I think he is a baby jaguar so I like him, but he drools when you stroke him so I don't like him that much.
We pulled the farm stallion out of his holiday for a riding lesson yesterday. We trotted him around a bit and me, Wendy, and Jeff took turns riding on him. He tried to buck Wendy at one point but he is a pretty relaxed horse and he just needs to get back into feeling comfortable with people on his back again.
That will have to do for now because I have stuff to do. Until next time here is a picture of Dave from the hostel on our last night there. We had a few drinks.

great idea about the squirrels. It's freezing here, snow, ice, hail, wind(the weather, not your dad).
ReplyDeleteLike the story so far, keep going, and don't let the stallion give any cheek.

ReplyDeleteyeah, if that stallion throws you off, get the air rifle.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds pretty good, I like the cardboard house. How long is Jeff gonna be there for?
Don't get caught driving without a licence, the cops just love to shoot a limey :)
