I stood looking around the church, almost in tears, and wanting to spend more time there. I knew God was there smiling at me, I know I have to return some day soon. (Soon there will be a picture in here of one of the windows in the cathedral, and I think it will move many people when the see it).

I was reluctant to leave the church, but did so. We chatted openly, and shared a special time with Brett. We enjoyed dinner out, and a relaxed evening that will be remembered. The following day we got up early, left for breakfast and checked in 20 minutes before flying to San Francisco.

We arrived at San Francisco to not be met by Tim. He was held up at work, but when he did arrive, he was full of apologies. Tim took the rest of the day off, and showed us the basics of the city. It was a great tour, that we enjoyed. It gave us ideas for the next couple of days, a we would be left to our own devices.

Even here, I knew God was keeping an eye on us. We went to some of the rougher spots in town, and experienced no trouble. We visited streets made famous by "Tales of the City" by Armistead Maupin, and other sights that are important.

We rode cable cars, the MUNI, and browsed shops. Gareth and I enjoyed the peaceful relaxed time we had together at the end of this break. God was preparing us for the going of our separate ways, as I headed back to Australia to work, and he back to the UK for his own job.

Tim and Kurt took us out and about on the Saturday and Sunday, before we travelled on to our separate destinations on the Sunday night. I was to fly to Sydney at 11pm, Gareth was to leave at 10pm. We got me checked in, then got Gareth to the correct departure area. Whilst he checked in I arranged my ticket to Kalgoorlie from Perth.
