San Francisco
Once again, more rain. Ever since we have landed upon San Francisco, every day has been unfavorable, causing us to be confined to our quarters within the hotel. The Japanese have left for a reception at the Academy of Music, and Teschemacher is most likely there. At least I'm not alone. Some of my crew and some Japanese ambassadors, including Vice-Ambassador Muragaki, have stayed inside. The Vice-Ambassador was strangely curious about the lamps on the street and how they were powered by gas instead of oil. I have also learned that the Japanese carry around materials instead of using horses, which I believe to be very inefficient.
Yes, the rain was a factor that ruined my day too.

I understand what you both mean by saying the rain ruined your day, but don't forget the sun came out in the afternoon:)
