sunny san francisco
actually it was sunny today, but also windy, which combined with the tall tall buildings made it a bit chilly at times. but oh my, so lovely!
i am staying here for the three nights before i head to LA. after that it's hostels and couches. it's just up from union square on bush st (thing i learned today #1 - san francisco hills + asthma = not so great) but seriously you guys, you'd love it here. es especially! pip is the hotel cat, and we met earlier - i had a rest before i went out for dinner and ot my wireless working and there was a meow and a little ginger face at the window. so i let him in and he said hello and then went to my door - thank for that hooman, now let me through, can't stay, places to go, ya know...
i had tea this afternoon too. nice strawberry scented tea. mmm
and i found a good chocolate place. wasn't in the mood, but will stock up before i head to chicago in a few weeks.
for dinner i went to Lori's Diner. oh yeah, when in america... i had a cherry coke, (things i learned today #2- stir cherry coke before drinking or risk serious amounts of syrup in one mouthful) the most amazing clam chowder and a very small part of my southern fried (half a fucking) chicken. lol. i ate all my coleslaw though.
so i have been up for forever already!
i did sleep on the plane, about 6 hours i estimated, so not bad, but yeah, just a bit wooooozy from the flying and walking around.
i saw something totally awesome today - a rat sitting on a cat next to a dog with what appeared to be a homeless/beggar guy. i patted them - sooks they were - although i probably shouldn't have. but they were very sweet. the dog kept wanting to lick the rat - and then licked the cat. eeep. (things i learned today #3 - i'd rather have my butt crack hanging out than be alerted to the fact i have my butt cracking hanging out. for some reason the presumably helpful comment of 'you might want to pull your sweater down' from a passerby really irritated me!)
so i pretty much just wandered today (things i learned today #4 - i really need to readjust my thinking when crossing the street. no j-walking here) - saw the spiral escalator, totally went into crumpler and was all patriotic with the storeman :) and caught a cable car. man so much cooler than trams! i also saw a fire engine, which is probably bad, but they're so cool and old fashioned looking.
ok so in an order that in no way resembles that above...
lookit the animal pyramid!
