International Hotel, San Francisco
Today the Kanrin Maru arrived in San Francisco at 2:30pm. The USS Powhatan was late, but both boats managed to arrive on the same day. Now that we are in San Francisco, we are staying at the International hotel. The people here are nice and strong, and its fun to see what the people of San Francisco do for fun. However, it makes me uncomfortable to have them stare at me. When at the International Hotel, there were delicious foods that I and my fellow Japanese have never tasted before! There were frozen desserts that we ate with such delight! This is a great beginning to our stay here in San Francisco.
