Close Encounters With The Titans

All of you will probably be wondering: why is she talking about Titans? Some of you may not even know WHAT a titan IS. Well, don't worry, you don't have to know ;-P. If you want to find out, though, you should read a hillarious and completely awsome series of books known as Percy Jackson and the Olympians. The series is about a teenage boy who is a son of the Greek God Poseidon. Upon finding this out, he goes on a whirlwind of adventures and challenges in order to restore peace to Mount Olympus (on top of the Empire State Building), and to prevent the uprising of the Titan lord Kronos. Anyways, Kronos is supposed to have a temple on top of Mount Tamalpais (sound familiar?) where Atlas holds up the sky. So, to get my bro and sis to climb this peak, we used the Titan theory as motivation ;-P

This post is about our climb to the top of Mount Tamalpais "and our proof that Kronos really is rising". Read this post, and read the Percy Jackson series so some pointers will make sense =D

And even though this was taken on a different day, this was the last day in California I considered blog-worthy, so I will post it here.
Finally, a good picture of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Visit you again soon, California!
