Getting to America (eventually)

... is probably the least fun we've had so far. After a three day bus journey with an unplanned overnight stay in Los Angeles (don't ask); a bus that smelled of urine; a man who wouldn't stop singing; countless terrible movies dubbed into Spanish at deafening volume; five different checkpoints where we had to get off the bus so police could search us the bus & all our bags; running over a dog & six hours (SIX HOURS!!!) at the Mexican/American border ... we FINALLY arrive in San Francisco. Thank God!
