Update June1.0

Ok let's see, what is new....had a fight or something with a person who I thought was my friend, but after a guy showed off, she showed me her real face. Don't want to go into details, but I lost her as a friend :(. Women are sometimes just really complicated, that's why I like hanging out with guy-friends. They are not so bitchy and just not complicated. If u have a problem, just tell me, but please don't pretend that everything is fine and talk behind my back!
But I made a new friend and I am happy that I met him. Kimi, me and him are hanging out a lot and we r going to Minnesota in 2 weeks. Sounds like a lot of fun and I can't wait :) Yesterday we went to stony creek for kajaking. Was so much fun and I really enjoyed the nature and the silence. Kimi also showed us Eminem's house that is nearby. Really cool :)
Tomorrow my college classes are atarting. I am taking basketball and lifestyle choices. Let's see how this turns out to be. My kids have vacation now, so I will be busy with them too. Swimming lessons for them, dance camp etc....

So that'S what's going on right now. Working, hanging out with my friends and enjoying the summer :)

Yosemite National Parc

Awesome, amazing, beautiful....lots of words that are coming in my mind when I think about the Yosemite National Parc. I am glad I made that tour, though I had to get up at 5:30 in the morning cause the tourguide picked me up at 6am. It was really nice, I was in that little bus with like 26 other people and our tourguide, who was German  told us a little bit about the area, but after a while almost everybody was sleeping or just dozing. The countryside was soooo beautiful, I liked it a lot! After a few hours we arrived in the parc and the driver dropped us off for the first stop. We had to walk 1 mile to see the giant sequoia trees. They are really big, thats why they are so popular. For seeing them I had to walk through snow(!!) and of course I was not wearing the right shoes for a walk through snow, what means I was wearing my Converse shoes which were after that trip soaking wet ;) Well it was worth it :) My camera's battery was about to die so I only took 2 pictures of the trees. After everybody was back on the bus we were driving deeper in the parc and we saw more of the  beauty of nature. I was gorgeous!! We had the chance to walk around and take pictures and our tourguide was giving us informations about the waterfalls etc. Couldn't remember everything ;)
After a few hours we headed back to San Francisco and I  was there at 8:30. So I had a full day and was dead tired when I got back. It was really a nice tour and I am glad I booked it. This was the best part of my San Francisco trip :) Though seeing my dad was also pretty nice :)

San Francisco Day 4

Today was not really special though I saw the sun for a little bit ;)
I just walked into the city and was looking for a Borders store to buy a book for my flight back, but guess what there is no freaking Borders. They are all closed :( So it is 89 Starbucks vs. 0 Borders...So people just drink coffee here and don't read or what?
And of course I got lost because I am no friends with maps. I was looking for Union square to do some windowshopping etc, but of course little Jessi messed up Union street and Union square so I landed in a not so nice area....well let's say if I would have been looking for a job as a stripper or so I would have been right there ;) But at least I saw some cable cars on my way. They are not running right now so it is rare when u see one...
Well I found my way back to Pier 39 and took a street car to union square. That is the part of San Francisco that I actually really like. Didn't buy anything, I spent already enough money...
Tomorrow I am going to Yosamite National Park and I am really excited. The tour starts at 6 in the morning, so that is the bad part about it, but maybe I can sleep in the bus. Hope I will not freeze too bad there, gonna put on several layers of cloth...
Gonna relax now, my feet really hurt after all that walking....

San Francisco Day 3

Today I woke up by the rain cause it was pouring and it didn't stop til noon or something. But this didn't stop me from meeting my dad and hanging out with him. So I walked through the rain to Pier 39 where we met. He already bought some tickets for some activities and we started with a ride an on ferry which drove to the Golden Gate Bridge where it made a turn and passed Alcatrez. The weather was still crappy, but in the beginning it was at least not raining anymore so that we could stand on the deck and take some pictures. Bad thing is that my camera's battery is about to die and I forgot the charger...hope I can still take some pictures on monday when I am going on a Yosemite tour. I really liked the tour on the ferry and it was ok that the weather was not that good. After that tour we went to the Aquarium of bay. That was really neat and we've seen lots of fish, sharks, starfish and jellyfish. The coolest part was to see kids being so excited and deep impressed by all those fish. You could walk through a glass tunnel where the fish were swimming, so they were swimming over your head too. Pretty cool :)
After the aquarium we were walking through Pier 39 and had lunch at Bubba Gump Shrimp co, a restaurant leaned on the characters from the movie "Forrest Gump". Remember the part, where Bubba tells Forrest what kind of food u can make with Shrimps? Well You can try a lot of seafood in that restaurant. Really a cool place.
After lunch we went for another city tour, what was really nice cause it took 2 hours and the driver told and showed us a lot of stuff that I haven't seen/heard before. 
I had a really nice weekend with my dad and the next time I will see him will be in October when I go back to Germany.

Thanks Dad for that great weekend. Have a good trip home. Hugs and kisses from your one and only daughter :)

San Francisco Day 2

Today I woke up kind of early what means like 9am ;) After I took a shower and had breakfast at the hostel I went to the city to do the rest of the sight seeing tour that I booked. This one included a ride ofer the Golden Gate Bridge, a place where we were able to take pictures and a ride to a city called Sausalito. Let me tell u something, the feeling that I missed about San Francisco is what I got when I went to Sausalito. It is a beautiful little City at the bay and it has all those nice houses and cute little shops. It is kind of a wealthy city so it has a yach club with all those great boats and it has lots of galleries and shops for the wealthier people. But it also has nice little shops or restaurants for the "normal" people. Our tour guide told us that in one of the restaurants, called "Hamburgers", u can get the best burger in the area. So I tried it and it was really good. I spend more time in Sausalito than the other tourists on the bus cause I mised my ride back. But that was ok cause the buses came regularly and I just took one an hour or so later. 
Later that day I bought some souvenirs for my girls and then my dad called me that he was on his way to see me. So I finally met him again. It's been almost 8 month since I saw him the last time. It was soo good to see him. I told him about Sausalito so we took his car and drove over to Sausalito. I finally had more time to check out that city and showed my dad what I've already ssen. Really nice :) Bought him some ice-cream and he got me a sweater :)
Went back to San Francisco and had dinner at an italian restaurant in little italy where he has been last weekend with some of his collegues. The waiters remembered him and they were really nice. Food was good as well though I was not really hungry. He dropped me off at my hostel after dinner and that was knd of it. Gonna meet him tomorrow again and then we will decide what to do...

San Francisco Night 1

Oh my gosh, I am sooooo tired. So u can tell that I went to that pub thing where we were at least in 5 bars. Was really a lot of fun and I met a lot of new people, most of them from Australia, but also from Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and America. Most of the time I hung out with the Australian guys, yes there were mor guys than girls, but I didn't mind. Well not in the beginning, but later at night some of the guys were really annoying. There was for axample that Asian Australian who didn't stop staring at me and who always wanted to dance with me and he was always like touching my arm and so. And that Austrian just didn't stop talking with me in German and I was just bored of him. I hope that doesn't sound too bad, but I was just really tired and didn't want to pretend to like those guys...
We went to that other hostel downtown that also had a bar and we've been to a gay bar and a couple other bars. We stayed til they closed, so at 2 am two Aussis, the Canadian girl and me took a cab to our hostel and I had to sneak in my room cause the other two girls that I was sharing the rrom with were already asleep. Felt so good to sleep after 23 hours being awake and wearing my contacts. Really not a good thing to do.

So now is a new day and I will make the rest of the double decker bus tour and see the Golden Gate Bridge. Hope it will not rain, it is really cloudy outside....

San Francisco Day 1

Got up at 6am, Kimi picked me up at 7am and dropped me off at the Detroit Airport and my flight to San Francisco left at 9.
Flight was kind of shaky, but ok. Just really long for me (5.20 h). So I arrived at 11:20 local time so now I am 9 h behind Germany....
I chose San Francisco for some of my vacation days because my dad is in California right now and he will come to San Francisco this weekend so that we can meet. Haven't seen him since I left Germany so for almost 8 month now...
After I checked in in my hostel at Fisherman's Wharf, I decided to explore the city a bit on my own. So I walked along the beach and Pier 39 that is really close to my hostel and went on a double decker tour bus to see more of the city. Though I have a great view at the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz from my hostel, I have to confess that I am kind of disappointed of that city. Maybe my expectations were too high and I thought I would fall in love with that city like I did with Washington D.C. Well I did not. Don't get me wrong, the city is nice, but I would never say that I love that city or so....And it is freaking cold with the wind and in the shade. Was freezing like crazy when I was on my way back to the hostel.
I signed up for a pub night, though I am really exhausted....Well it is an opportunity to meet some new people, so I guess it will be fun. Don't have to get up early tomorrow. Just planned to do the rest of the tour and see the Golden Gate bridge etc. Gonna meet my dad in the evening cause he is working earlier.
Gonna post some pictured when I am back in Detroit, didn't bring my cable for my laptop...
