San Fransisco, Days 7-8

[tanarill]

Saturday was wonderful. I did absolutely nothing all day. Panda went to a car show, which is his thing, and took all the other annoying people (aka, my family) with him. And they brought back fudge.

Then we went out to dinner, which was another Italian place. And I can haz salad again! I haven't been able to since I caught the Horrible Stomach Bug during Epic Journey. Oh Salad, how I missed you. Then I had ravioli things made of, of course, garlic. And dessert was brownies and ice cream. All in all, a good evening.

We spent day eight driving home.


This is one of the major reasons that California is a dessert further inland: the clouds can't go over the mountains. They bump into them, but as shown in this picture, they're too heavy to go over. They form dense fog-mist layers and dump rain on the west half of the mountains, which lightens them up. Of course, then they're less watery, so as you go West, it gets drier . . . and drier . . .

Now I am home, and concentrating on college-things. Yeeeey!

Those mountains. *shakes angry fist* *ignores the necessity of balance in the world*

So the journey is over? :( Well, at least it was fun.

I always think about rain-shadow deserts when I'm looking at maps of fictional places. It's a cool reason to have a desert.
