slycatFirstly, I'm pleased to report that my cold seems to be easing off as I had one of my best sleeps last night so far this holiday. Hopefully I can kick it entirely before the con is in full swing.
Anyway, yesterday we had another IHOP breakfast before hopping on a cable car down to the downtown area of San Francisco. Kenai was going to join us so we waited around Powell station for him to arrive. While we did, a local TV news reporter approached us and asked if I wanted to answer some questions in relation to this historic day, etc. Normally, I would have been up for it but I declined as I was still bogged down with cold and didn't think that would make for good viewing.
Anyhoo, Durandal succeeded in getting a baseball glove to go with the souvenir Alcatraz baseball he picked up the day before. My mission to find a specific salt grinder my Dad was after wasn't so successful however. We ended up wandering aroun d thee shops and made a special trip to a shop on 8th street before coming back to Macy's for what can only be described as the poshest cheesecake restaurant around. It was on the top floor of Macy's overlooking Union Square. They did other food too but we were just there for the cheesecake, which was delicious!
After cake we headed back to the hotel for a bit, I really wasn't feeling too great so I pretty much just stayed in bed while the others did a wonder of the Wharf. The fact I got thos extra rest may explain why I feel so much better today.
Today we're off to San Jose for the Doubletree Hotel. We've got to check out of here by noon but there's no rush to get there so I'm not sure what the plans are. I guess we'll make it up as we go :)
