Hi everyone, we are currently in Mississippi for a bit but I figured I'd share some (ok, a lot of) photos from our week staying with friends in The Bay Area for anyone curious what the visit has looked like.

Make sure to click on the photos open a gallery with a bit of commentary under each photo.

By the way, we did not film in California and probably won't here either as the primary purpose is visiting friends and family we haven't seen for ages, but I hope to film next week while we are in NYC.

We have been and will keep doing periodic livestreams during our visit in the states though, so make sure to keep an eye over at twitch.tv/kydeanderic .

We will keep sharing these little photo updates now and then during our time here, so keep an eye peeled!

It's a long story but we are smuggling a tanuki (not Golden Balls) to America to gift to a friend for his wedding.
He rides in first class!
Sometimes you see cool planes in Japan. This is one of those times.
Flying American and...well....I won't show what was on the floor next to us but here's the next surprise: parts of the plane are loose. lol.
I know California is brown but it always surprises me to see just how brown it is.
Welcome to America!
It feels very good when you are reunited with your baggage on the other side of the planet.
Kyde is spooked by beagles ever since one snitched her out for apple smuggling in Korea lol
Los Angeles connection was smooth.
Got one of these alerts, had no idea this was a thing.
Our friend's son is doing all sorts of cool craft work for his summer break.
New doggy friend.
The deodorant is locked up. This was a surprise.
I am sitting on a cat.
The cat.
American pizza night!
Don't worry. Carmella made it.
We hit the Winchester Mystery House with some friends. I lived down the street from this as a kid but this is my first visit.
Inside the mysteries!
Kyde and our friend Jameson.
This mystery house is too small for me.
Here is a mysterious kitty.
We also had some wine with friends.
Kyde in the wine.
Cool little car-free street we hung out around for a bit. Lights in the background are good photo times.
We headed into San Fran with all the same friends and got a beelined for a burrito so fast I didn't get a photo. Here's some hot chocolate.
Neat art! All women in the art, it's really stunning in person.
Kia boyz step down!
Kyde and some friends in a nice park on a nice day in a nice city.
Kyde and Jameson had a bet if Biden would drop out and literally 10 hours later he dropped out. Kyde lost hahaha. Then we saw this.
Good lord that's on the nose. I had to explain to a japanese friend what it meant lol.
Big flags are cool.
On a tram taking a telephoto shot with my phone. Neat distance compression.
The sky looked neat here. Building too.
Kinda almost got hit here haha. Whoops.
More kitty time!
This time she sits on me.
Failed attempt to make a WiiU USB-C power adapter. The 3D print was too fragile.
Out in Cali and you come across a wildfire. Kinda worrisome.
Getting some mail from ages ago! Thanks Barb!
Did some miniature golf! For some reason Kyde was taking crotch shots.
hi.
I seriously wonder why good mini-golf isn't a big deal in Japan, it seems perfect. Maybe we should open one.
This is...uh...creative looking.
Kyde doing the loop!
I've already annoyed Kyde remarking at how absurdly large trucks here are.
Look at this! She's a grown-ass adult!
This one makes more sense haha.
She found her road.
Getting cranked on cider.
Heading over the bridge!
Fun telephoto photography.
Nice bridge.
Wine tasting in Sonoma!
You know where you are.
We don't have these back home.
Kyde and Will made fresh pasta!
We 3D printed a bunch of stuff and some of it went sideways hahaha.
How do I not fit in America either?!
Deal! By the way, Kyde headed on her own to New Mexico to see some friends, so the rest of this visit was me solo.
The local BART station is literally in the center of a highway. It's...a vibe.
I spent a day solo in San Fran livestreaming on Twitch. Did a lot of walking and saw a lot of cool parts of the city. Lots of fun.
Def don't take his ball.
Cool old fire alarms all over the city. Trolly in the background.
Someone took a picture of me taking a picture of the fire alarm and posted it on Instagram.
In the touristy bit of Chinatown there were some dudes playing what I can only describe as Chinese bluegrass on the street.
Met a kitty in Chinatown.
Hit up the outside of the Twitch headquarters on my way out of the city.
This stop put me on a path home that stopped in West Oakland due to a sudden 24 hour BART outage.
Met this fox and his friend on the train who helped me understand just how stabby West Oakland is.
A friend to the rescue! They picked me up in Oakland before i got stabbied.
We had this great donut shop nearby we hit for breakfast three times. Btw that is killer apple juice.
Playing with a 3D printed pinhole lens. A photo of The Redwoods with a redwood. I like trees.
Neat little flowers.
Weeds are beautiful too.
In America trains ride cars. This kinda blows my mind, this is how they transport trains for maintenance. What.
Afghan food!
So ok, this is new for us to see in person. I know it's not news but for us it's like seeing a mythical creature.
More kitty action.
I don't fit on the BART. Sigh.
San Francisco looks so cool, even in glum weather.
Arriving at the airport! On my way to meet Kyde in Texas to then head onward to Mississippi.
$13. Sigh.
Had a *very* tight connection but made it at the last possible second.
Last two on the sky train!

Pic 4, I hope you alerted the crew because they often are not aware of problems like this. Hope you are having fun and enjoying reconnecting with friends and family!

it was just a piece of decorative trim and they knew about it and didn't care at all haha.

Thank you for sharing, pics were great and right in by back yard. I was afraid you would go dark for a month.

We are taking tons of photos, so expect more posts like this. And hopefully some videos too! -E
