Observations from SF

San Francisco has a massive meth problem. it is incredibly sad and difficult to see. Bristol isn't exactly drugs free or anything but seeing people wander around aimlessly with their eyes glazed over muttering is new to me. seriously its like a zombie invasion.
Hannah and I have moved to a more central hostel not far from Union Square, where we spent our third day just wandering around. Checking out Macy's and all of the sexy boys, err i mean clothes in abercrombie..mm. This place is completely different from the Mission (which is where Santana grew up, thanks dad for that fact) its metropolitan and commercial but pretty cool nonetheless. Our Hostel is on Taylor Street, Taylor street is in fact a massive hill...so that was fun lugging our packs up here...the hostel is cool though, apart from the prison like bunk beds which require gymnastic skills to enable you to get to bed every night. i have none of these skills, im sure its a sight to be seen!
yesterday we hit up golden gate park and bridge, loving being a tourist! The park is kind of confusing, it has several very large roads running through it- JFK drive, martin luther king jr drive etc etc, so not necessarily tranquil..we got overtaken by a segway tour, and discovered a sunday lindy hop class on one of the 'sidewalks'. we watched for a bit but retreated in fear that someone might ask us to join in. Cute though.
We decided to hit up the Japanese tea garden and accidentally wreaked havoc by knocking down a bamboo railing trying to avoid getting knocked down by a toddler pushing her own buggy. Sunday is not a good day for sightseeing. We discovered this yet again at the golden gate bridge where on more than one occasion a bike angrily and narrowly avoided ploughing through us...well im sorry, but putting a pedestrian and cyclist path along the side of the bridge is the most retarded idea since chocolate tea pots. (i do wish they existed though..) we took some photos and noted alcatraz (tours need to be booked 2 weeks in advance so no luck on visiting that, though tbh the cells are probably not that much different from our hostel room..) and then headed back to the hostel, via a convienience store where we bought some Bud Light- only because they have labels that you can write messages on- which we duely did (rude ones), then drank up, and went to bed- in apprehension for our amazing day today- HELLO fishermans wharf- HELLO fishtastic food. Hello Tacky SF gifts and Postcards! WOOO
