San Fransisco

Upon arriving in San Fransisco, it was still much too early to check into our hotel.  We parked the car and took a little walk around the touristy Fisherman's Wharf area.  It had all of the things you would expect out of a boardwalk, plus those creepy mimes who spray themselves gold and dance like robots on top of boxes.  So wierd.  After about an hour, we decided we were hungry, and drove farther into to town to avoid paying for a ridiculously overpriced seafood meal at the pier.  We went to a place called King of Thai Noodle, which is supposed to be one of the best Thai places ever or something. The food was unbelievably cheap (all the entrees were $5), and it was really tasty.  Two big complaints, however: while the eggrolls and my meal arrived fairly quickly, they apparently forgot about steves, and I was almost completely done eating before it finally got to the table (after steve reminded them about it).  Also, the Pad Thai on the menu was listed as having rice noodles, peanut sauce, egg, and tofu, however when it arrived, it had all of those things plus a mystery ingredient. At first I thought it was tofu, but as soon as I tasted it I knew it had to be something else, and on further inspection, we decided it was probably chicken.  Normally, I guess this wouldn't be a big deal, but to me, it is a very big deal.  After that, I had a very difficult time eating anything else on the plate and although it was delicious, my appetite was gone.



We left after paying and walked back to the car, which had literally just run out of time on the meter (there's a one hour limit on meters in San Fransisco, wtf?), and thus narrowly avoided a ticket.  We still had a while before we could check in, so we decided to check out the San Fransisco MoMA.  We parked the car again (we spent a ridiculous amount of money on parking, it was absolutely stupid.) and walked over to the museum.  It was more expensive than I would normally pay to get into a museum, but ended up being worth it.  There was some pretty awesome stuff there, along with some pretty awful stuff.  We saw a great video piece that we both really liked, I can't remember the artist at the moment though.



We were finally able to check into our hotel, so we went there to drop off our stuff.  I took a shower, uploaded some pics, and we left again.  We went to the Macy's in Union Square and I bought a dress to wear in Las Vegas.  After a little more shopping around we were ready for dinner.
 


So now I'm getting kind of bored or writing all this, so I'll just list the rest:
- we had sushi for dinner at two different restaurants, and one of the waitresses was from jersey which was cool
- we bought some beer and went back to our hotel
- we attempted to find bagels the next morning, which apparently is impossible in San Fransisco
- we left, and had chipotle for lunch

The end!
