The day started out well. We were well rested, and got up in a languid fashion. We walked down to the wharf for breakfast and had a walk by the shoreline.<\/a> It's really funny to notice that the seagulls here are as fearless as the pigeons in Montreal. And they're everywhere. <\/p>\n

After breakfast, we walked to pier 39 to see the sea lions<\/a> during the day. We we'd planned to go see Alcatraz, but the tours are sold out until friday! We've fiddled with our schedule a bit, because we want to see it. We'll probably end up going on the 3rd or the 4th. We have time enough to see it. <\/p>\n

We'd noticed a big ship the first day we were here. Turns out, it's the Jeremiah O'Brien<\/a>. It's a merchant marine ship that, along with the submarine USS Pampanito, is open for a visit. The merchie was interesting, but the submarine was really, really cool. I can't imagine living in such cramped quarters<\/a> for months on end. That ship is the model of space utilization, with bunks in the torpedo rooms and everywhere else you can cram in a mattress.<\/p>\n

After that, we went to visit The cannery<\/a>, a nice little shopping center with cool shops. We had a beer at a pub called Jack's. It had a nice atmosphere, but it was weird to see kids in a bar. <\/p>\n

Went back to the hotel to freshen up and dump the pictures on my laptop. Went for a bit of a walk and wound up in little Italy. There are really appealing restaurants. We picked a little place called Washington Square. The food was good, the waitress was cute, it had the makings of a fun dinner. Michel suddenly didn't feel well and went back to the hotel, so I ate a quick dinner (he told me to eat and then meet up with him) and came back here. Hyde_grrrl, my quest at your request will have to be delayed for one night, sorry. I promise to do my best :P<\/p>\n
