woke up at 10:08am and didn't leave the hostel until...11am
LOL.
but we stay out late!
highlights for today: lombard street, fisherman's wharf, alcatraz
started off the day in an awesome way with breakfast across the street at paris cafe
i got a breakfast bagel and a latter - bagel was ridiculously good, just a simple egg and ham and cheese but soooooooooooooo good. the coffee was bad.
then we walked up the hills past the main city, past chinatown, past little italy
all the way to lombard street, home to the most crooked street in the world
and what must have been one of the world's steepest suburban streets because man, i tell you, i have realy sore thigh and calve muscles right now -__________________________-
took a few pictures before we made our way to fisherman's wharf
this whole walk must have taken us 1.5 hours because it was so ridiculously hilly
at pier 39, we saw the sealions
those are some lazy buggers, i tell you but they were pretty cute
fisherman's wharf was also pretty cute
had a few carnival things, kind of like a part of disneyworld with the stores and the junk food
we stood for a couple of minutes watching a juggling act
this old man with a tummy and good jokes
he was also really
for lunch, i had mini donuts and a cup of tea
we walked around a bit before heading over to pier 33 for the alcatraz cruise
alcatraz is an island of the shore of sanfran, where they used to house prisoners who had commited crimes within other correctional facilities
it was cold, we had cloudy weather the whole day
tomorrow's supposed to be epic rain and we were supposed to bike the golden gate bridge so i don't know how well that's going to work tomorrow :(((((
anyway, the alcatraz cruise was pretty cool, we got some history and an audio walking tour as we walked through the jail cells on the island
since we did the night cruise, the sun had set by the time we were doing the tour and it was pretty eerie and haunting
especially since the audio tour had all these different sound effects and stuff
pretty good for $33~
when we got back to the mainland, we walked around for dinner
and ended up at hooters. that's right! HOOTERS!
contrary to what people think, it's a family friendly restaurant but lol, when we first entered janice looked so completely scandalised. LOL
we ordered boneless buffalo wings (don't order these, just get the normal wings) with ranch and hot sauce, curly fries, and this really really awesome BBQ pork burger which was like the meat off pork ribs or something but it was really really good. we also had key lime pie for dessert but had trouble finishing.
then it was back home via the F street car which took like 20 minutes compared to the 1.5 hours it took to get us there. LOL.
we stopped near macy's and walked into the madness
it was still open at 10pm LOL
went up and found REALLY CHEAP LEVIS, then the lady gave us AN EXTRA 25% with the friends and family card and now i have two pairs of levis for $25 each.
AMAZING.
what a great way to end the night?
yes, if you can't tell, that was a really exciting part of the day for me.
LOL.
not that the other parts weren't relaly exciting as well, but WOW that's really cheap levis.
LOL.
ok i go now.
donna.
