decorations were well in hand, a magic time to visit the Park.

SAN
FRANCISCO:
San Francisco, a must visit, there were highlights, the
Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Cable Cars, they're all there however the
general state of the city and the terribly sad state of many homeless people
living on the streets left me confused.
The city is a major financial hub with over thirty
Financial Institutions based there and the city claims fifteenth place in
the top twenty global financial centres, the haves and the have nots
is clearly evident on the streets of San Francisco.

SOLVANG:
Solvang (Danish for sunny fields), was founded in 1911. It
is captivating, surrounded by all that is America, the town offers a hint of
Danish architecture, tidiness, old world customs, simply a wonderful place
to visit.
I really had no idea of the beauty and charm that Solvang
and it's residents had in store for me, I actually went there to view the
'Solvang Motorcycle Museum', an equally wonderful experience,
