Foggy Day

We've been really busy with school for a long time! A few weekends ago, we went to go see the Golden Gate bridge in the fog! The narrow channel that the Golden Gate Bridge spans is the opening to the ocean. Whenever there is heavy fog from the ocean, it all squeezes between the mountains through this passageway, and a stream of fog shoots inland over the bay right towards Berkeley. The bridge is almost completely engulfed by the stream of fog except for the very top! Ocean ships need to use their fog horns, so there was a lot of "tooting" of fog horns a few times each minute. They are really loud! Sometimes at night, you can hear them all the way in Oakland! Here are some pictures:
