Bay Area weekend
Our German friends Markus and Gisela were here over the weekend.
Friday night we took them to an Oakland Athletics game. It was their first baseball game. They were very excited. (We really wanted to take them to a a Giants game--but they were out of town.) We had really good seats! We kept walking and walking. Out loud I said, seriously??? ("Grey's Anatomy" anyone?) We were three rows behind the dug out. Talk about close. I have never sat that close at a baseball game before. It was a very exciting game. And the A's won. Afterward there was a a fireworks show. How much more All-American can you get?
Saturday we met them in the city at the cable cars. We took the cable car to Fisherman's Wharf. We had tickets for a 1-hour Bay cruise. At first our boat was having trouble. So we had to switch to another one. Then we were off. It was a great tour. I did take a few pics. I think Markus took a few hundred. He probably took 30 just of the seagulls flying next to the boat. After our "cruise" we had a little seafood appetizer. Then we were off to North Beach for an Italian lunch. The food we had was delicious. But then again, we have never had a bad meal in North Beach.
After lunch we walked through North Beach and Chinatown looking for fun stuff to buy. Gisela told us the German word for souveniers or gifts is "poison."
After our cheap purchases we headed to Old Navy. Gisela wanted to get some clothes. She told us she spent 90 Euros on Converse. Can you believe that??? So she wanted to find some cheap buys in America. The Old Navy we went to was HUGE! I had never been to one so big before. The shopping ended our day. Curt and I headed home. Markus and Gisela back to their hotel. Sunday they drove down to LA.
The rest of our weekend was pretty lazy. I got a few things done--but I never get everything done that I want to. Such is life.
