CA Duncans

Recently we met Perry and Makylee in San Jose and spent a few days with them in the area. We had a great time and saw lots of great things. Some of the wildlife we saw includes Elk, Mule Deer, Harbor Seals, Sea Lions, Humpback Whales (in abundance and sometimes breaching), dolphins, a bat ray, some cool insects and birds. While we were there we went to the Winchester Mystery House, and saw a historic building that was continually expanded until it became a confusing collection of rooms. We went on a ferry out to Alcatrraz Island and saw the abandoned prison along with a huge quantity of stinky seabirds that make the island their home. Their were also displays about the Native American activists who settled on the island after the prison closed and other historical events. There were good views of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. Some of the group went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium while the rest of us went to the coast and checked out a lighthouse. We also spent time at the beach and Perry and Makylee had some photos taken. We ate seafood several times and had farm made pies from Gizfdich farms. It was a good few days.
