Saturday in SF

The second day we were in San Francisco we headed to the Fisherman's Wharf. I loved it there! It was chilly, but super clean and there was a ton going on around us. Justin said that SF is known for the street performers. We saw the normal silver guys doing the robot, but also this lady dressed like a mermaid with a fisherman's body "holding" her (her boobs mostly), and a guy with an instrument like Dick Van Dyke plays in Merry Poppins. We saw tons of sea lions sunning and fighting for spots on the floating docks. A few of them held their arms up to dry off just like Kath used to in college :) We went to Ghiradelli Square which was great for people watching and warming up in the sun. There was a cute little fountain in the middle and a guy singing to the crowd. I had clam chowda' for lunch, but we avoided the trolleys since they looked too crowded and touristy (for Justin).

Finally after a few hours of Sean driving us around--including down Lombard Street--we headed to our new hotel near the airport. We took a nap, had some munchies, and just chilled. We were meeting up with my friend Tracy from grade school who moved to SF to go to Berkeley as well as this girl Sean's dating, who was home in San Jose for vacation. So around 630pm we headed back into the city to Little Italy and landed at Delucca's. It was super cute! I had an amazing bowtie pasta and it was great catching up with Tracy. So afterwards the four of us headed to a little bar down the street for a few drinks while we waited for Meliza and her friend to catch up with us. After much drinking, another bar where we ended up at a birthday party, and some dancing, it was time to head home. Unfortunately, the car was locked in a parking garage. With no way in the garage, we were forced to find a cab home. It was a little dicey for a bit--none of us were happy about having to cab it back to the airport--but Justin, Sean, and me are still friends, so that's a good sign I guess :)

After a silent cab ride back, we hit the sheets and passed out. We'd deal with the car situation on Sunday.
