Golden Gate-time

Another Easter,  another adventure...

After 14 long hours on a plane we had finally arrived at LAX. A quick hop, skip and 2hr flight delay later and we were in our friends apartment and falling in love their Havanese-Poodle, Yankee Poodle. We had a quick nap and then went exploring in their neighborhood, Nobb Hill.

At 5.30 we met Richard at work and headed to a bar nearby where Alice was waiting. We all had a few drinks the went to the baseball where we saw SFO Giants get defeated. A very loud ABBA Uber later Alice and I decided to get some sleep and cuddles with Yankee while the boys went out for one last drink.

We awoke early the next morning and headed off to Alcatraz. We both loved it and even got to hear about the most successful escape from one of the guards. We then headed to Fisherman's Wharf for a lobster roll and binget (my new obsession - fried pastry with icing sugar!). I then directed Doug to his favorite place in every city... China Town. Hegot his Sweet and Sour so was a happy boy. Union Square was next on the list as I wanted some Bikinis  (no luck) and Doug wanted some games to take away with us (Taboo and Yatzee were both hits). After all that walking (24km to be exact) we went home for a quick nap then met Richard at a bar near his work. I was the most dressed up girl there - no one in San Fran wears heels! We met a few of his mates and Alice came by for 1 before we headed to dinner (fried chicken burger and cocktails - yum) in the trendy part of town. We were all a bit over being out so cracked open a bottle of champagne and played the worst game of taboon in history while packing for our next destination.

Alarms were set with only 4.5hrs of sleep before we were off...
