San Francisco, California, U.S.A. - 29th December 2011

My older brother, Jeremy, and I set out today for our consultations with The Great Yoda, a local ToyVoyager tradition.
The location of Yoda's fountain is also the starting point for a two-part puzzle geocache. The actual cache has to be located elsewhere because geocaches are not allowed in National Parks. So we needed to get the final coordinates by counting the number of benches and cascades at the fountain; picking up clues on a nearby sign, counting visible Jedi Masters nearby without trespassing but maybe peeking in thru doorways and figuring out how many bikes can park at the fountain. Phew.
Wow! Yoda is very wise, what an experience! . This really jump starts my progress to becoming a real wise old owl. Wow! Wow! I am so excited about knowing Yoda and will go back again and again. Mom is happy there is a nice Starbucks there to relax, plug in the coordinates, and soak in the movie industry atmosphere which is not really very glamourous at all; it's mostly hard-working young people, very young!, grabbing a strong coffee, taking a break and checking email while we TVs work at having fun.
This is The Palace of Fine Arts near the cache site.
We didn't find the geocache partly because of a muggle who seemed to be living there in the great outdoors but it was a great male bonding experience. I'm glad for the opportunity to get to know my brother before we head off traveling. The geocache trail led us to the Palace of Fine Arts where we enjoyed looking at the architecture, a duck pond and two similar “jet d’eau” fountains.
This is the Palace of Fine Arts from the bus stop.
Later at home Jeremy and I continued hanging out together and Miss Kitty joined us but Mom rescued us from becoming kat toys.
Bye now and Happy New Year,
Noodles
