usa: day thirteen - san antonio

, , No Comments
highlight of today: san antonio spurs vs. portland trailblazers basketball game

woke up late
went to brekkie at SIPs opposite the bakery from yesterday
had a cinnamon scone and chai tea latte
both were pretty bad -.-
like...hmmmm....let's not ever consume that much cinnamon in one go ever again, eh?

after that we went by walgreens to buy a large bottle of water
returned to the hotel to put that down before walking across the street to Houston St to catch the 24 bus to the AT & T centre to watch my first basketball game EVER

at the beginning, the spurs were losing pretty quickly and there was a bit of a moment where you think you're going for the losing team
but they quickly caught up and maintained their lead throughout the game
we had nachos and popcorn and a jumbo dog (that was the normal size) and soda
completely healthy game food!

it was pretty cool, very stereotypical american experience which was part of the fun
they had games during time out
the mascot running around and being mischievious
the camera on the crowd and the kiss cam which was sooooo awkward when they showed a non-couple and they refused  to kiss LOL
very fun and very high on team spirit
americans are really really into their sports

then we bussed back downtown to the riverwalk for some dinner
ended up  at some lounge, landry lounge where we had some pretty mediocre calamari, fish taco and some mexican dish
i had a mango mojito which was SUCH an improvement from the margharita from last night and the other two got mei tai. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.
their faces were so hilarious. anoushka couldn't even finish hers.
and seriously, janice...that girl had such a high alcohol tolerance it's like O_O
we realise we're super super giggly when tipsy

anyway, now we're back home
got here at 7:30pm
we're really party animals, no?
