We made it back to Trinity safely! After waking up early the last morning we were there and going to Hyde Street Pier to see some historic ships in the pouring rain, we also snuck off to the Ghiradelli factory/store one last time and then went to the hostel to get packed up.
We ended up at the San Francisco Airport after the scariest shuttle ride I have ever taken to find out that our flight had a 3 hour weather delay: freezing rain, fog, and a tornado watch made the whole place shut down. Though we thought we were going to spend the night in an airport in Phoenix, AZ, there was a delay on the second flight and they held the plane for us. Meaning we got back to San Antonio by midnight! Hooray! I had a blast on this trip and would go back in a heartbeat, but that will have to wait until I graduate in May....The "bests" about this trip:
- the beautiful scenery, both rural and urban sprawls so close to one another
- how everyone recycled or composted as much as possible all over the city
- making cards for the homeless youth at "At the Crossroads," showed me how even the smallest kindnesses can make a big difference in someone's life
- the vast variety of people that live so close together in a (mostly) harmonious way
- how close the members of our little group got with one another
- waking up in the morning and having tea overlooking the stormy bay
