USA 2009 – Day 2 (San Francisco)
Apart from a brief moment when we woke up at 3am for about half an hour, Mat and I managed to sleep through the whole night. We woke up a bit groggy the following morning, but forced ourselves downstairs to meet up with the crew. Mum, Amy, Pauline and Fiona opted to go for a drive to one of the universities, while Madonna, Sue, Mat and I decided we would explore the surrounding blocks of the hotel a little more.
First we went and waited for a cable car, but it looked so incredibly packed we decided to walk. After about 3 – 4 blocks, we entered into what we thought was just a normal shopping centre. Wrong. It was so impressive inside, it looked like somewhere designed for people only with wages in excess of $100,000. We looked at the price for some breakfast in a small cafe downstairs, but instead opted to walk back towards the hotel and look for places that had some appealing pancakes. We came across Lori’s diner, an interesting looking 50′s diner only a short walk from the hotel. We apologised to Aunty Sue for making her walk a fair distance (she was fine with it) and headed inside.
