Yesterday was a truly amazing day! The day already
started with a highlight when we went to one of San Francisco’s best pastries,
where me and Michelle P. treated ourselves with a croissant and a pain du
chocolat plus some extraordinary blue
bottle coffee. Afterwards we met our class and went all together to the
famous prison island and Al Capone’s old residence. The audio guides we were
given told us everything about the place packed in a kind of story, which was
narrated by former prisoners or their correctional officers. That fact made the
whole tour very interesting,
When we returned from Alcatraz in the early afternoon,
we (me, Michelle P. and Giorgio) said goodbye to our teachers and went to a
coffee shop on Jackson Square and I enjoyed my first flat white (a special and
very delicious cappuccino). The rest of
the day we were wandering around in the city and let San Francisco’s vibe sink
in. As slowly our feet started hurting and our knees aching we all went to mine
and Michelle’s host family where we had delightful pasta.
After this perfectly
fine dinner our host father took us up to twin peaks. A place located above the
city, which gives you the perfect view over the whole region. The lights of the
city were sparkling while the water was calm and smooth, shining in a matt
black, because of the moon, which was nearly full. It was freezing; every one
of us was shaking. But we stood there and felt like we were on top of the
world, while we were looking down on the city and totally feeling this magical
moment. (NB)
