Day 14
We spent the day in SanFransisco. Initially we explored Pier 39, and as the group grew to huge number, me and another girl split off and had lunch at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. It was really good. It was such a neat setting there. They have "Run Forest Run" on green license plates.. and then they also have "Stop Forrest Stop" on red ones. SO if you need service at anytime,just flip the sign and the first staff that sees it will be at your table within seconds. It was jsut all around a really neat and unique place. Their drink menu was on a table tennis paddle. Hehe. It was fun. Just outside the door they had Forrest's shoes and suitcase sitting on a bench, so you could pose with them. After that, Darby and I decided to head up town to all the shops we'd been looking forward to (Abercrombie & Fitch, Victoria Secret, and many more). So we met up with one of the supervising staff, told them we were heading there.. she was concerned.. since we're supposed to be in groups of 4 or more.... but we complained, and she said it'd be ok. So we took the cable car up to Market St. and started shopping. We had lots of fun, and decided we're good shopping buddies (so now we have plans for that together). As shops were closing we walked up towards Martuini's (where we were to meet the group before 10). We reached there and sat. It was definately interesting. A karaoke bar... in San Fran.... didn't take long for many 2 man couples to come in... which was weird... then there was the guy in drag. We were sitting there wondering... is that a man or woman? It was hard to tell... but once he/she walked past us... we knew. It was just so weird. The bus driver was freaked out by all this. A couple guys in our group got hit on... it was just bizarre. I never have been happier to leave. ALthough... the nice thing about a San Fransisco bar... smoke free! I made it through that night only being sung to twice. Both by the prof overseeing the trip.
