Bomb 'Em

Hey guys!! 

Umm, a lot happened today. 

Okay, we got up (not easily), got our stuff together and checked out of the hotel. We hopped on a bus. And then another bus. And then we were at Golden Gate Park. Mind you, we were carrying ALL of our stuff with us.

Then we ate at this good Caribbean/central american food place and it was good. Then, the walking began. We walked through the park (which is like miles long mind you) and we first came across a playground. Rebecca obviously ran straight to the playground. We then went on the carousel, which had a surprisingly good selection of animals (cats, dogs, zebras, lions, sea dragons), it was fun.

More walking (with bags) and then MOAR WALKING. There was a lot of walking. But eventually, we made it to this place that has bike rentals. We could have rented tandem bikes, but we eventually rented out for an hour this 4 person bike cart... It was freaking ridiculous but we cruised around that park man. We even went up to an ice cream truck IN THE FREAKING CART. I hate us.

Then we left the park and ended up waiting for a bus for an hour and a half (the first one left without even letting anyone on because it was too full).

But we got on the bus and got off at the actual Golden Gate bridge. We took pictures and walked around for a while. We climbed down some stairs to get to the water (WITH BAGS) and it was really nice. And while it was warm and stuff earlier and in the sun, by this point, there wasn't much sun and it was super windy so it was really cold, especially since we weren't well prepared. 

Then, we climbed back up and by the time we started walking on the bridge, it was already dark. But walking on the bridge was something surreal. To walk and see all the cars drive past and the lights above. To look down and watch the current mix and flow underneath. To see the city lights in the distance. To look up and see the top of the bridge so high up that it was in the clouds. There was something so magical about it. How something that massive and that unique and that special could exist. This is why I like to travel. To see what we are capable of. To see what others have done and what we still can do. To watch and listen and take in all that there is. We are tiny. But we can do great things. That's what matters.

Sorry. Anyway. Then we got on another bus. Got off. Went to Burger King. Got super sketched out. Then got on a train/subway thing. Then got in a taxi. And got off. And here we are at our new hotel. It's 1 in the morning and we need to wake up early. I'm not ready for tomorrow.
