Piere 39
Chirardeili Square
Last Sunday, my friends and I went to San Fransisco. We visited Golden Gate Park,
Cinatown, and Fishermans Wharf. At 10:00 in the morning we went to the Steinhart
Aquarium in the Park. We saw many different kinds of sharks, fish, and crazy
people. After two hurs, we drove to Cinatown. We ate lunch there. We had almond
chicken, mushi pork, and steamed rice. I got a fortune cookie that said you will
iherit a million dollars. At about 2:00 we took an exiting ride i a cable car to
Fishermans Wharf. While we were there, we took a boat ride around the bay, we
stopped at Pier 39 and the Cannery, and we all drank milkshakes at an ice cream
store at Ghirardelli Square. When we went back to our car at 5:00 we found a
$25.00 ticket on the windshield.
