Reda Tomingas: The last of S F. And the first of the rural America.

The last evening in San Francisco. We hurry up to visit a few more worth visiting places. I take a 100 photos of different houses from our car.

Sushi for the last dinner. The place was a jungle of oddities and plants. The food was great and the hostess could barely speak English. She filled the gaps with her peculiar laugh :-)

The botanical garden was closing. I should have come here before the sushi.

That old fat Brussels griffon was almost petted to death!

The famous view. I've sent a couple of postcards of it to my friends. It's amazing we got a clear shot!

Good bye town of hills!

My friend's cat on their porch. The midwest of USA.

It's probably the history of the town depicted on this wall.

A boy's ride, parked next to McDonalds. Probably the busiest place in the town.

I took a bicycle to explore the outskirts of the town. It felt a bit strange to walk in the town, because most of the time I was the only one on foot. People were staring. Somebody even honked! I didn't feel very comfortable :-)
A girl, bicycling outside the town must have been equally peculiar to the locals.
I bet these horses have never seen a bike before!

I was really hoping to see an armadillo or a snake. But a slower creature was equally fun to see!
I've seen a few flattened raccoons and armadillos while driving in a car.
I also saw some spectacular birds, but they were very shy and wouldn't let me come close enough for a good shot.
A funny thing-nowhere else have I seen so many hawks and other birds of prey as in this country. They were even circling above the suburbs of Kansas City!
