San Fransisco

May I first say that we have become very spoiled! For the last two nights we have not only had full hook up, but also showers! Yep, that's right, showers. Be jealous if you must.
On today's agenda was the foggy city of San Fransisco! I was personally most excited for this day, I'm not sure why though. We rode a shuttle bus from the RV park that we are staying at tonight into the city near China town. China town was like nothing I've ever seen before! It was like being in another country for sure as everything was in Chinese and the people were all Asian and, well, it was very cool. I felt as though my eyes would bug out of my head any second from having too much to see! Walking through there was such an experience.

The Chinese architecture was really interesting.

We enjoyed browsing through the shops.

Coming out of China Town we headed for the fisherman's warf, which seemed more like something out of Disney world or six flags, but was still interesting. The quaint little shops along the boarded walkway were fun to look at and the smell of the nearby bay and the sounds of the little boats and ships made for a great experience.

The crowded, touristy fisherman's warf.

Certainly the best part was when we discovered a group of wild sea lions right next to the pier. Some people had designated special platforms for them so they wouldn't bother the boating docks and they were in the perfect place. We spent a long time watching their funny social interactions and antics.

Those were the highlights of the day. Once lunch came, we sort of ran out of things that we knew of to do and just wandered around and discussed quite a bit on activities. We ended up seeing an old WW2 Submarine. The boys enjoyed that.

And we saw a Japanese "tea Garden" which was interesting, but not worth it.

To finish up the day we went back to China Town as that was where our shuttle would be meeting and had supper in a little Chinese Restaurant. We ordered the "Banquet Meal for 6" and boy was that an experience! The waitresses brought out the first course, a clear eggy soup, which we all enjoyed quite a bit. The next course was beef, chicken, fish, shrimp, and broccoli. I can't describe how they tasted or how they were cooked, but it was all very good and well worth it.

So, that was the end of the day. We came back on the shuttle and did some laundry and every one else went to bed, but I am up typing my poor fingers off. It does feel good to be some what caught up. Sorry for any confusing parts, I had alot to remember in this one evening.
