Bogota to San Francisco

Our return to Bogota allowed us to revisit the gold museum. A wonderful place we had gone through previously with a tour guide who concentrated on only one floor. We wanted to go and explore the rest.

 Gold fish hooks!
 I thought these displays with shadow humans showing where these gold jewelry pieces were worn were inspired.

We also went round the police museum which was our last experience of the eccentric South American museum experience. The police being a very different entity in Colombia to what we were used to in the UK.

On our last night in Latin America we went out with another friend of a friend, Juliana. A Colombian writer and joyous fun woman who filled us in on many things Colombian although she was not too keen on having her picture taken.
 Two beers later however her resistance waned.
We flew to San Francisco and met Lee and Helen. On the Friday while they worked we discovered and rediscovered the city. Here is where I spent 1994 635 Haight St.
 And another typical SF sight.

Liza was very very angry when we got here as she felt things had been mis-sold. The golden gate bridge being red.


And I end our quick SF photo tour with the Fisherman's wharf seals. Boy do they smell.

We spent our final Saturday on a Napa Valley wine tour with Helen & Lee. Much fun was had.
