Day Five; Transportation.


This macy's is so big i couldn't even
 fit it in the picture!
These hearts were all over the union
square with different designs 
Getting legit transportation in San Francisco is difficult, especially when you want to get to the Union Square. We first thought it would be pretty neat to take a cable car..too bad the wait for them was over an hour. Then we decided taking an F-line train that would take us to Union Square. A F-line train is like a bus on a cable line.  We finally found the right one & my parents were lucky enough to find a seat, i however had to awkwardly hover over them. After several stops the f-line train was crammed pack with people.. i'm not even exaggerating, i think i had an inch of breathing room, just think of 20 crazy chickens in one little cage..yeah thats what it was like. once we finally got to the union square we found a little cafe called Cafe Mason. From the sound of it, it definitely didn't seem like an italian restaurant. but it definitely was, even the waitresses sounded very italian. the meal was delicious, we all had typical italian pasta dishes. Then we proceeded and went to a HUGE Victoria secret store...there were levels to it! after that we walked to the biggest Macy's ever, there 7 floors...lets just say you could get lost in their, very easily. After we did a little shopping, we found a taxi. Let's just say he wasn't the most friendly guy...then again i guess most taxi drivers aren't probably friendly, they just want your money; just like everyone else here. When we got back to our hotel i noticed one of many homeless men on the sidewalk. we walked to walgreens & i bought him a bag of popcorn and a bottle of water.  When I went out and gave it to him he thanked me, blessed me, and then blessed the water & the popcorn...all in a language that i couldn't understand.  but i didn't care, i'm just glad that i helped him be a little less hungry for the night. I finished up the good night by having a music filled video chat date with the one and only Mr. Alex Pecoraro, who i will see in 3 days. &hopefully the rest of you shortly after that. (:
