Still waiting...

So I'm sitting in the hotel room waiting for Michelle to wake her ass up. I told her I'd let her sleep in today but it's already almost 10. I've been up since 8 and walked around the city for an hour and a half. I came back expecting her to be awake and ready to go do stuff, but she's snoring like a chainsaw on concrete. My one vacation and she's sleeping it away! Of course, I could just say f**k it and wake her ass up, but then I have to deal with her moody shit all morning until I feed her. She's going to read this later and beat me for it, but it was worth it :D

 

So we got in Thursday morning around 8am. Turns out a friend from Dallas (named Josh that's probably in one of my early early blogs) was on the same flight here and we're all on the same flight back. It was kind of awkward to see him, but we gave each other our numbers and said we'd hang out once while we were here. I'm kind of doubting that will actually happen because he's pretty flaky when it comes to things like that, but we'll see. I used to have a huge thing for him and he's pretty hot, but I don't think I'd actually do anything with him at this point.

 

Anyways, Thursday we spent the day randomly exploring the city. We got bus passes for the week but we ended up walking everywhere instead. I had a blast but Michelle started bitching from the walking :P We hit the usual hotspots of Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf and eventually wound up back at the hotel around 3. Neither one of us had slept the night before and I didn't sleep the night before that so I was going on the 3 hours of sleep I got on the plane. We took a 'nap' that lasted about 5 hours, got up and ate dinner, then went back to sleep. Wasted most of the first day of our vacation, but it was still worth it. It gave us the energy for the next day.

 

Friday we went to Alcatraz and walked around for a good hour and a half or two hours. Apparently we didn't go the right way when we walked in so we didn't do the audio tour. We just explored the island instead. After that we went to Ghiradelli and some pizza place, then did a little bit of shopping (and by a little bit I mean 2 stores so it doesn't really count!). Dan and Robert came in town while we were walking around and ended up meeting them near Broadway, which is where all the titty bars are. I think I got winked at by a prostitute, but I don't know if it was a man or a woman. Or both. After they picked us up, we went to watch the sunset over the Pacific and it was absolutely amazing. That was probably the highlight of my trip so far. And Michelle's too since she got to see a midget with a beard in the Russian district. We ate dinner at the Sausage Factory in the Castro district which was good. The desert was better, but Robert and Michelle kept laughing at me :(

 

Then we came back to the hotel, went to bed, and here I am posting this while Michelle is still sleeping. I'll give her another 15 minutes or so before I wake her happy as up and probably get beat for it. I posted one picture in the Show Me thread, but I'll post a few more here. I think my MySpace is public so if you guys find it, there's plenty more on there.

Oh Good! Michelle said you promised her Ghiradelli's :)

 

I never pictured you liking the hairy type, but that guy seemed cuddly & mellow.

 

Have fun up there!

Of all the pictures, I would have to say that the fourth one is the best of them.
