Day 35

Today we went to San Fransisco. We also went to china town. I got a shirt that said Got Rice and Esther got some Chinese PJ's. Then we went on a tour of China town. Only men got to perform in Chinese opera in olden days. Most Chinese moved here at the time of the gold rush. Most of them were from the Pearl River Delta region. It was a really really poor region. They were also right next to a river and there was a lot of flooding. They didn't really come for the gold as to improve there life.

No. I did not see the seals. But I did see the video game museum on pier 45.

That is very interesting, John. Will you get a chance to see panning for gold or, perhaps, to try it?
Love, Grandma
