Sunday Jan. 15th. A beautiful day. We went to the Congregational Church, then had lunch and went for a drive all around the Presidio and out to the Cliff House to see the seals on the rocks and on up to Twin Peaks a drive in all of about forty-five miles. Had dinner and Mrs. Clark and Lela wrote letters.
Monday Jan. 16th. Bright and mild. We all went down to the bay to see a British Warship 'Raleigh', one of the fastest ships running thirty-two knots an hour. Then went up to Chinatown and spent the afternoon looking around at the stores. Went in a Japanese Cafe for an afternoon tea and it was lovely. Then home and had dinner and stayed in the rest of the evening.
