Wednesday, 21 June
Today was my first day back in San Francisco after camping in the Redwood Forest and visiting the wine country of Napa Valley. I have to admit that it definitely feels good to be back in the city again. And what a city---a city that was able to rebuild itself after the earthquake that occurred in 1906. There are so many beautiful old buildings-many sitting on top of big hills, offering great views of the city, the ocean, and the Golden Gate Bridge.

The 1906 San Francisco earthquake

My hotel is near downtown, in the Mission District, one of the oldest parts of the city. Many of the people living here are from Mexico or Central America. This district used to be a poor area of town, but is now a centre for art, music, and food. ln fact, an art movement called the “Mission School” started here. It's influenced by graffiti art and comic art. I walked around looking at the street art for a few hours. It was quite modern and lively. Afterwards, I ate some delicious Mexican-Chinese noodles from a food truck. A real mix of cultures here!

In the afternoon, headed to a local museum that showed the historical changes in California. I learnt that America got California from Mexico in 1848. In the same year, gold was discovered near San Francisco, which started a gold rush. Over 300.000 people came from all over the world to seek their fortune, and San Francisco quickly became a big city.

California Gold Rush
rapid influx of
fortune seekers in California that began
after gold was found at Sutter’s Mill in
early 1848 and reached its peak in 1852.
According to estimates, more than
300,000 people came to the territory
during the Gold Rush.
adj. 历史(学)的
v. 寻找；探索
Many Chinese arrived during this period. To earn a living, some opened up shops and restaurants in Chinatown. Many others found jobs on farms, joined the gold rush, or went to build the railway that joined California to the eastern region of the country. The museum did a really good job of showing how America was built by immigrants from different countries and cultures. When these immigrants left their countries, they carried a bit of home in their hearts, and built anew home here.
