My USA Panorama of Bryce Canyon

When i was at USA’s Grand Canyon, i saw these beautiful framed panorama of some beautiful landscape. So i purchased a Panorama print of Bryce Canyon. it is sold in a rolled up tube and no framing provided.

When i m back i singapore, i went to frame it. the picture itself costs US$20. the framing costs another S$65. still thinking where to hang it…

USA Purchases for Google and myself

Google has got the biggest gift from our USA Trip. Biggest in terms of size and weight! Also by far the heaviest item in our luggage.

we bought him a pack of food, made with real meat and no grains. as good as his Orijen food and much much cheaper. 5.4KG pack costs only US$30 (S$45).

we r packing cut throat price of S$45 for a 2.5KG pack of Orijen in singapore. also bought him his usual shampoo+condition. They have a 2-in-1 combo shampoo over in usa. finally a small shaver to shave his paw and ears and hard to reach areas hehehe.

as usual the curious Google will sniff at every new item at home… we brought a Pine tree cone from Grand Canyon.

and also my collection of potato chips from USA. most of which are either not available in SG or they r dirt cheap!

finally a decent pair of timberland shoe. US$40 only. cheap cheap.

Day 4 USA trip – Monterey Bay Aquarium and long drive to Camarillo

Joshua joined us last night at 11pm. He showed up at the door of the motel room with all his baggage. HAven’t seen him for 1 year already.

We started the day by waking up at 9am. took our time and checked out at almost 11am. Had free breakfast in the motel consisting of bread and coffee.

After which we drove to Monterey Bay Aquarium. It is 100x better than sentosa underwater world. the marine life exhibit is extensive. it is a 2 storey building and there are marine life we can see near the beach and those in the deep ocean. We spent almost 4hours there because there r simply too much to see.

After that we drove to carmel by the sea. too upmarket for us. everything looks expensive. houses look expensive too. so we left and joshua googled a place for seafood cos after seeing all the aquarium fishes, we want to eat them. haha. so we drove back to monterey (2miles) and went to sea harvest fish market. about $20/pax for seafood lunch/dinner. quite nice. we also ordered fresh oysters.

after dinner, we drove to morro bay (120miles) using costal highway 1. a very long winding scenic drive. scary at times. make me car sick too.. the view was stunning. have to be there in person to witness it.

went to hearst castle on the way too. took some pictures and left. then we arrived in morro bay to see the famous ROCK. nothing much in this town except food. we wasn’t hungry. So we pumped petrol. a different system compared to sg. got to pay at the counter and tell them how much u want to pump. then u pay and pump. if u paid too much, got to go get refund from cashier.

joshua then took over as driver at 9pm and drove to camarillo (170miles). we arrived at 1130pm in Camarillo Good nite inn. that marks the end of day 4.

Day 3 USA Trip – San Francisco & Monterey

started the day off by taking bus to San Francisco Farmer Market @ Ferry plaza. it is a market for farmers to sell off their produce. Alot of organics stuff and prices are generally more expensive. But the produce looks amazingly good. The quality is there!

Joc cheated on bus fare today! she put 50cents only and forgot to put in a $1 bill. fare cheateR! a bus ticket is valid for a 90mins transfer on any bus. So we used the same ticket to take to farmer market and then back to hotel. good deal.

Had oyster in farmer market. US$1.50 each. very very fresh! maybe they caught it last night? Super fresh. very different from the oysters we have in singapore.

bought a bag of organic salad mix vegetable. $6/LB. pick and mix. paid $3.25. 25cents for a bio-degradable plastic bag. it is an eco friendly place here.

Next we got our car, drove towards Monterey. Took a wrong route and ended up in San Mateo Road. So glad we ended up there. we manage to get $1 hot dog set!! hot dog with bun and a bag of kettle chips all for just $1! it is a donation project. think some company sponsor the food. all we have to do is donate $1/set. We donated $2/set. the person was so stunned… anyway the supermarket sells alot of organic stuff. there are ready hot food for purchase. $8/LB. we spent $10 to buy a chicken breast, a slice of lasagna, and a few pieces of thai style cooked chicken. then there are free tasting of chocolate cake! wow wow place

after lunch, drove to pigeon point light house, then walmart, then to hotel. At walmart, there was a $1 deal for Betty Crokcer Fudge Brownies. Bought a paw shaver for good. $13. cheap too.

Staying in a motel. a big downgrade from hilton
