San Fran Part Deux

If you feel a little seasick looking at this picture, it's b/c I got a little crazy with the camera angle. My apologies! But wow, our lunch (which is what Manburger is eating) was delicious! We had really chunky clam chowder in sourdough bread bowls. It was probably the cheapest thing down at Fisherman's Wharf, but I bet you'd be hard pressed to find something more tasty.

Here I am fulfilling my Roman Holiday daydream. I don't look a thing like Audrey Hepburn, but Manburger is tall, dark, and handsome like Gregory Peck. Fortunately I still have my hand, so my claim that I'm madly, deeply in love with Manburger is true. This Bocca Della Verita was housed in a crazy mechanized museum with some really old school machines, like French guillotine scenes and fortune tellers like the one in Big.

We didn't see too many crazies while in town, but we saw a guy painted all silver to look like a robot. He had a boom box and a kazoo in his mouth to make him sound robotic when he moved. He didn't move until someone paid him and then he did a fun electronic, techno-y dance. It actually wouldn't be too bad to do, until you get an itch.

The last photo is one of Manburger reliving his childhood at a park on the edge of Chinatown. We went there to take a break after walking around all day. It was a pretty nice park too. Lots of benches, clean, and a cool play area for kids complete with a flower like labyrinth thing that you can see in the right hand corner behind Manburger.

I really enjoyed San Francisco. It was neat to see all the neighborhoods like Japantown and Chinatown and climb the crazy hills. I don't think I've seen hills that steep since Utah. We made use of the park-n-ride just outside of the city, b/c believe me, you don't need a car here. There's enough public transit that you can go anywhere in downtown.
