Exploring the Bay Area

I know it's been a few days since my last entry, but the time has not been idle. With Eve's help, I have managed to furnish my room (sans desk) and unpack all the cardboard boxes. Between shopping and cleaning, Eve and I made our way to the UC Berkeley campus. We parked on the southside, and made our way across in search of Tolman Hall, the Psychology building. Along the way, we encountered a hole in the walkway with an inscription that basically stated that the ground in this hole shall never be part of any country. After taking a picture of Eve's feeble attempt at emancipation, we headed back to my apartment before taking the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transportation) into downtown San Francisco.

We exited the BART at the Powell Street station and followed Market Street down to the Bay. We followed the Bay down to Pier 39 (way to touristy) and then walked through Fisherman's Wharf. From there, we walked down to the beach adjacent to Fisherman's Wharf so Eve could wade in the Bay. After determining that the water was freezing, we walked up Hyde Street to the Ghiradelli Factory and treated ourselves to ice cream topped with their famous chocolate (decadence at it's finest). Next, we made our way to famous Lombard Street, the curviest street in the world. After climbing 2 blocks set at a 45 degree angle, we were rewarded with two excellent views of the city. Extremely hungry and tired from our walking tour, we ate dinner at Brandy Ho's Hunan Kitchen. My mouth and lips on fire, but pleasantly full, me walked back to the BART and called it a night



At approximately 5:12 AM, I dropped off Eve at San Francisco Int'l Airport. She helped me make this place home and I will miss her terribly.
