| From California 2010 |
After that, we had lunch at the Crab House - holy fast service. They apparently take your order at your table with a wireless device because our food came literally like 5 minutes later. I had the "killer crab" which was half a dungeoness crab in garlic butter. It was good, but the garlic butter actually kind of overpowered the crab a bit.
Jose went home to rest and I did the rest of Pier 39 and the Aquarium. The Blue Angels were practicing over the harbor for Fleet Week, too. Jose told me later he wasn't able to nap because of them.
I walked up to Washington Square Park and had some really great gelato at Naia - you can get two flavors in a small cup, so I got pistachio and Ferrero Rocher - both were excellent.
I took the bus to Golden Gate park and went to the Tea Garden that Jose and I skipped the other day. I decided to go after seeing photos of it from a friend of mine. I got some tea and mochi at the tea house in the garden and spent a while just relaxing a bit.
I went to the Conservatory of Flowers just in time to see it before it closed, some very nice flowers - and the jungle room was sooo humid! My glasses fogged up as soon as I walked in.
I walked to Stow Lake just as the sun was starting to go down and ate a little of the mochi I got to go.
My friend Dante was out of work by this time so we met in Castro for dinner at Thai Chef, caught up (it had been YEARS since we'd seen each other), and he took me around to pretty much all the gay bars in the area for literally about 5 minutes each, LOL. They're all pretty small and "clubs" are pretty rare - they're really just bars and strangely enough they were showing baseball - but because the Giants were playing.
We took a quick ride to SoMa and Folsom street and then he dropped me off back at the house! It was great to see him again but by then (about 10) I was pretty tired.
