I’m in Pleasanton, California visiting Giuseppe (a friend that I met working at a summer camp up in Washington called SAMBICA) with Ian Eilert (a friend I met in middle school). I’ve been here since late late Sunday evening. It took us about 10-11 hours to drive from Wilsonville, Oregon to Giuseppe’s apartment. The main reason we came was for Ian. He has a bro crush on Giuseppe and I only came because Ian said he’d pay for all my stuff. I really didn’t want to come because Ian and I had a falling out in friendship. Maybe being here with each other and hanging out again after 3 months of not seeing each other will straighten things out? One can only hope.

 So, anyway, back to my day. I’ve been sleeping on an air mattress, which isn’t too bad because he put a memory foam pad on top of it. So, it is actually pretty comfortable. I woke up around 10:30-11:00 a.m. and took a shower, which started off really nice and warm and then within 5 min dropped to ice. After that, played some video games while we waited for Giuseppe to finish up with a meeting he had at the church he works at as the Youth Pastor. When he got off we headed up to an Indian Restaurant. I forgot that all the food was so spicy, plus I haven’t had Indian food in a really long time so I forgot what it was like. The verdict. It was pretty good. The look of it. Pretty bad. Almost all of it looked either like diarrhea or vomit, but the taste was good. The curry and rice was my favorite. However, Thai food still has the number one spot in my heart for food. Followed by sushi. Which we had for lunch, but I’m not there yet. After we ate we headed over to the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) Trains to go to San Francisco. We started on Powell St and ended up walking all the way up to the top of the peninsula by Ghirardelli Square. We stopped in a few stores like The Disney Store, Starbucks (where I got a Carmel Macchiato), then we went to the sushi restaurant. We ordered a bunch of the rolls. I don’t remember all of them, but one was called the Tekka, which was just tuna in the middle of a rice roll and seaweed wrapped, another was the California Roll and my favorite one was called the Lion King. And no they didn’t come out singing the “Ahhhhh-Sah-Ben-Ya…..” Lion King song, but I wished they did. When we were done, we went and waited in line for the Trolley to take us back up to Powell St so we can take the BART back to Giuseppe’s. We stood there and watched two Trolleys’ come and go without taking anybody on them. It was pretty confusing, but there wasn’t anything we could really do about it, so we waited. And did I mention the entire time we were in San Francisco it was raining pretty good. Finally, we get on the Trolley, we were all soaked by this time, but relived that were on a dry Trolley out of the rain. Well, when we were about 6-10 blocks away from our destination, we lost the cable to the Trolley and couldn’t move. We had to wait for a truck to make its way through all the traffic and push the Trolley the rest of the way. So, instead of waited we got out and hoofed it the rest of the way. We made it home, played some Super Smash Bros and then watched most of the Twilight Rifftrax before passing out. The End.
