Recap: Saturday Dimsum and Sac Outing

It was a beautiful Saturday in Sacramento, and we had about 30 IUSM students join us for a fun-filled day.  The day began with delicious dim sum at a restaurant called Asian Pearl (順 峰 大 酒 樓).  For many of our students, this brought back fond memories of their home country.  After a group picture outside the restaurant, we stopped by the Sacramento State Aquatic Center.  Unfortunately, we were unable to ride on kayaks., but we still had a great time by the river playing with water guns, catching crayfish (小龙虾), and taking many photos.  And no trip is complete without a stop at the local milk tea shop.

Join us next time for future IUSM outings!

Recap: San Francisco Outing

This past Saturday, IUSM left Davis for beautiful San Francisco and were able to drive into SF on the newly built Bay Bridge.
 
The day began with people  enjoying the world famous clam-chowder at Pier 39.
Delicious Clam Chowder at Pier 39
 
We then took some funny pictures at “Krazy Kaps”, a store full of wacky hats.  People were having a great time wearing flamingo, pharoah, witches, and cowboy hats.

Need to “cap” off the hat photos. 🙂
 
We saw the large and lazy sea lions (海狮) and then left for the Golden Gate Bridge.
What great timing as a boat passing right behind us. Toot, toot!
They get the “seal” of approval.
 
We were able to walk under the Golden Gate Bridge and over to the Vista Point to take some breathtaking photos.  The day was not complete without walking onto the bridge itself and taking group photos together.
The guys are looking as cool as the great weather.
It was the first time for everyone in front of the famous bridge.
Everyone is mimicking the cables on the bridge as a way to connect with it.
