to describe my vacay in one word:
"exhaustion."
it all started with S driving up there at 4AM PST
translated into 7AM EST
basically i was up for 24 hours with mini-naps in between.
and then it went downhill
bc everyday was such a packed schedule
and left me completely drained.
the weather was dreary. and foggy. and cold.
i think if it was nicer..i would have enjoyed the city more.
san fran is ok. its def not my FAVORITE city..but its ok.
its actually smaller than i thought.
give me another week, and i would have been able to find my way around :)
thurs:
experienced public transportation in this order
[cal train, bart train, F trolley, ferry, Muni bus]
and wondered why they dont just consolidate.
visited Alcatrez island and enjoyed their rich history.
also met an australian friend
walked around pier 33/39
saw a poor sea lion being shunned from all of his kind
it was cold so fewer sea lions
ate "lunch" at Boudin, a san fran sourdough specialty
lunch is in quotes because we ate at 5pm
