San Francisco Views

Today Javier and Micah and I went to Coyte Tower to see some more awesome San Franciscan views. They chilled while I wrestled with my camera to try to get it to work for me. It took some coddling, but I got some nice shots. I don't know what is up with my bladder but I've had to pee more since I got to the U.S. than I can remember in recent history!

I handed my camera/bag to Javier and I was like, "Okay, boys, I'm going in!" I was nodding at the automatic public toilets. This would be my first time. There was a line for the toilets of course. I got out my quarters and waited. I look up to see a sheepish looking couple come out of the toilets together. Everyone around me gave each other an "mmm-hmmm, we know what you've been doing in there!" look. I was really busting at this point. So the next lady goes in and starts throwing up anad retching with the gusto of a drunk frat boy at Homecoming. Good lord! After several minutes of this, I realised there was no amount of automatic cleaning that was going to make this toilet "ok" so I got out of line and decided to "hold it."

Javier had to go too, so we left Micah in hopes of finding a place to pee. We found this bar and was like, "Can we please use your bathrooms?" The lady behind the bar held up her thumb and index finger and made like a "2 inches" or "a little" sign. We were perplexed. Did she mean we could only pee a little bit? Was she making some rude reference to Javier's private bits? We were like, "huh?" and she goes, "I just need to see some ID." hahahahahahaha! So we got IDd and then we peed. Sounds fair to me!!!

After all that Jav and I drove to Twin Peaks for more beautiful views, but I thought I was going to pull a Mary Poppins and fly off one of those peaks, it was so windy! I took my picures and was like, "okay, back in the car, it is cold!"

We went and got a snack at Sparky's Diner. I got cheese fries this time (nothing but healthy eating since I got home!) but I got much less cheese on me than yesterday. Then we met up with Karen and her fiance for a drink at Mecca. My raspberry mojito was fab, but next time i'm gettitng the bloody bellini that Javier got! Karen looked just the same! She has not aged in 6 years! She said the same about me ;-) It was so great to see her!

Then me, Javier, Karen and Bill went to Indian Oven for dinner where we met up with Micah, David (I was in Barcelona with him and Jav in 2002), and Linda (a friend of Karen's whom has pictures of me and her and Karen from Senior Week at Boston Uni in 1999 on her wall!) Dinner was delicious and it was great to see everyone!

After that, just had a quick drink at a club with Jav, Micah, and David. The boy who was working the door at this club was super cute! The bathrooms were hilarious - the soap was in squeezeable ketchup containers and there was a little TV playing "Pretty in Pink". I'm sure Molly Ringwald would love to know that people were watching her while they were in the can!

We went back to Jav's place and I showered and packed my stuff so I'd be ready to go at 7.45am to head back to the East Coast.....bye San Fran, you've been a great place! Thank you heaps to Javier for being an awesome and super generous host! :-)
