MLK Weekend

Pat and Jordan came to visit us (and interview at MD school) and we had a blast while they were here!! We really feel like we know San Francisco now.

Saturday we went to Fisherman's Wharf and ate chowder while listening to some smooth Jazz. We saw a freakishly large sea gull and a fight between a street perform and some locals. Tony guided us to Chinatown where Danny really wanted to buy a live Turtle to cook and eat. Luckily he decided against it. It seems Danny has crossed over to the dark side and now agrees I look Asian. While in Chinatown Danny had a moment of panic when he couldn't find me in the crowd and he started yelling, "Liz! Liz! I can't find her! She's blending in!" Never mind I was one of two blonds on the street.

After Chinatown we walked forever through North Beach and finally to the car. We hit up Golden Gate Park and then headed home for a nap. It was a long day of walking!

Monday we went into the city again for a tour of Alcatraz. It was rainy and super cold but we had a great day despite the weather!

Signs of the Indian occupation still visible

After our tour of Alcatraz we walked to North Beach for some super yummy Italian food at The Stinking Rose (I highly recommend it). Followed by another long walk to Ghirardelli Square for dessert.

Danny feeling sick from eating too much food. The ovens where they roast the cocoa beans are behind him.

After our dessert we hopped on a trolley for a scenic ride to Union Square.

It was an awesome day!

We also went to the Stanford Theatre to see Duel in the Sun with Jennifer Jones and Gregory Peck. It is a movie I doubt I will ever forget.

We heart Stanford Theatre...*

Mostly because of this dude. The organist who plays before and after the movie.*

Visitors are FUN!!
