San Francisco


Yesterday i went to San Francisco with my parents. It was a lot of fun. We went there by Bart and got of on Embarcadaro. We went to Pier 39 where we saw the sea lions and took a cruise around the bay. We saw the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and many large ships from China. We then walked our way to Ghiradelli (is that how you spell it?) Square where we bought some chocolate. we then went to the the bart station and came back home.

Discovery of India

These past few days I've been tying to read a book called Discovery of India written by Nehru. It seemed like an interesting book because it had lots of history and history is my favorite subject. I started reading and found out it had a lot of philosophy. That made kind of hard for me to understand, so I quit reading that and started Freedom at Midnight. Now that is a cool book.

Angels and Demons Haiku

When I was reading about the four Elemental Churches in Angels and Demons I came up with a haiku.

Elements they are
The Path of Science they show
Earth, Air, Fire, Water

In Angels and Demons the four Elemental Churches show the path to the secret Church of the Illumaneti. The Illumaneti were a secret cult that worshipped science and were persecuted by the Clergy. I called the path the Path of Science because it showed the way to the Church of the Illumaneti or the Church of Science.

Ambigrams


After reading the book Angels and Demons I was intrigued about the words branded on the four cardinals and the chamberlain. Those brands were fictional but were based on the real topic of ambigrams. Ambigrams are words that can be read right side up or upside down. Since it was so cool I searched on the internet and found one for myself. Here you can see how I redrew it.
