Yesterday :D

WHEW. yesterday was a long day...My mom and my sister and I went out to San Francisco and were all touristy LoL

We took BART to powell st. station and then got to the top and I got to ride a cable car for the first time :D dude. it was so awesome. It was so cool! I didn't hang off the side though, I could have...but me being me, I just sat LoL. It was bizarre though cause if cars are double parked in the street you really have to be careful you don't get knocked off! geez. but yeah it was fun going up and down the hills :D awesome views!

Then we got off at the far end of Fisherman's Wharf and we walked around some of the shops there, there wasn't much to do so we started to walk down to Ghirardelli Square there were a ton of cool shops there :) a lot of them were expensive stuff, but still cool to look at. There was this pom fritz shop where they have Belgian fries and all this bizarre dips to eat them with...but sadly I couldn't try it because I was gonna have a Sundae at the Ghirardelli shop.
Ghirardelli store, tons of overpriced chocolate, [if any of them went to the factory store in SL, they'd die at the prices they're selling for them there] anywhoo and for my b.day I got this email for a 2 for one sundae, I got one and my sister got one and my mom shared with us. I got the "Verry Berry Sundae" it was awesome. It was a scoop of blueberry ice cream and a scoop of strawberry cheesecake ice cream, with berry topping, whipped cream and a rolled up waffle cone cookie. so awesome. at 10AM in the morning LoL My sister got a brownie fudge sundae thing..way too much chocoalte for me. LoL

but they were so good :D and then we started down further to fisherman's wharf and stopped in the rainforest cafe store, they had a ton of cool stuff there, I'd like to eat there just once, even though things are way over priced I'm sure, but you go there for the atmosphere mostly right?

Then we went to the Boudin Bakery/museum/bistro/shop thingie at the Wharf and it was sooooooo much fun, there's a mini museum upstairs and it talks about the history of the business and the "mother dough" and a bunch of stuff about bread and then you get to see them making the bread directly under you, and it's so cool how fast these guys work and the machnery they use. :) they make bread in animal shapes too, there's a fish, and a teddy bear, and allagator, lobster and crab. LoL very cool :) at the end there's also a tasting room where I got to try the different breads with different dips :) the mediterranean tapanade was really good so we bought a jar. OOH and also they have this SOOPER cool system of transporting the bread, throughout the factory and in the store/cafe they have this circulating system. There's these wire baskets that rotate around on a track in the ceiling and the track lowers so people can pick up the bread at the cafe, bread only counter and the bakery, it's just really cool, and I suck at explaining so I'll stop LoL

after filling up on carbs! we walked all in and around pier 39 and looked in all the stores and stuff which was really fun :) and after a while we went to the boudin cafe at pier 39 (it was slightly cheaper there) and I had a bread bowl of clam chowdah, and my sister had a half salad/sandwich and my mom just had a salad. :D good stuff.

Then after walking around some more, we took the F train to the ferry building, but whew we were packed on like sardines! geez, all the more fun though, at least it wasn't a hot day LoL cause it gets to smell like funk in there. whew.

So yeah we got off :) and walked around the ferry building, there wasn't much there, mostly organic food stores, i.e. SUPER DUPER EXPENSIVE. geez $$$ but it was high quality stuff. Then we took the streetcar back to the BART station, that one was also packed, but we just managed to squeeze on :) and then after BART back home :)

it was a long walking day but sooooooo much fun :) I didn't buy anything booo, but eh it's okay, my b-day's coming up, :D

uhm. el fin. dude. sportsmart does not sell rubber boots whodathunk?! geez.

Teri. You are awesome. You're fuckin' awesome!

I apologize for the choice of word, but there is no word [in Maria's lacking vocabulary] that can emphasize the amount of awesomeness that you possess.

Just ... awesome.
