Day Three: Coastal Adventures

We start everyday early, and I've come to expect it, as should you. Nothing better than hot showers to wake you up. We spent predominantly most of our time near masses of water, so it was cold. I decided not to wear thermals, which, later, solidified that I'm a complete and total idiot.

We crossed the Bay Bridge to get to the Golden Gate Bridge, and the view along the way way was breathtaking with the sun parting the clouds. In the words of a friend: "The heavens know that there is a calm before the storm" or some cheesy stuff like that, haha.

After parking our cars, we wandered across the golden gate bridge. I was freezing, but it was fun. Pedestrians looked at our little group because we were weirding them out. Oh well, we're all weird, just got to deal. Some of the weirdness showcased upon the bridge had people taking off their shirts, piggyback rides, spitting on each other, etc. you kind of get the picture.

After the Golden Gate Bridge fiasco, we drove to Fisherman's Wharf.
We were famished, so we made a beeline for Chowder's at Pier 39(a section of the wharf). The clam chowder was amazing and it cured our colds from the gusts of wind we were experiencing outside.

After our feast, we braved the winds and explored the various shops scattered throughout this section of the pier. Notable shops we scoured were the: sports memorabilia shop, every chocolate shop we saw (you know because of who), crazy hats store, and some others that don't come to mind at this very moment. When the darkness fell upon us, the cold was blistering, and it didn't help when gusts of wind decided to pick up at the most inopportune times.

To finish the night, we went to Sushi House in Alameda. Crunch sushi rolls there are oh so yummy! Stories were shared and jokes were delivered, some funny, some not (you know who you are! haha).












To put the icing on the cake to end the day, the Lakers won, even though it wasn't remotely close to a convincing win. A win's a win, and Stu Lantz is a great commentator. Oh yeah, it was the same house, and we watched the X-Men and Jackie Chan cartoons while planning for tomorrow.
Good night and here we come Monterey!
