actually when my daughter was 10 we stayed in a hotel in S.F. and she said, there are exposed pipes, they should not have these exposed pipes in case of an earthquake...she was probably right it was a nice hotel but old. The kids here really do learn a lot also I don't think our schools are totally horrible.

My kids are always getting on me not to use salt because it will harden my arteries....blech...enough education!
