San Francisco Day #2

I slept for what could have been 13 hours, but now I think I have overcome my Jetlag. Only took one day. I'm also kinda not used to it still being bright outside after 8pm (it is currently 8.10- I realise the time stamp probably has Brisbane time), considering that in Brisbane it is dark by 6pm, no matter what time of the year.

I went for a walk to Market Street (again). Today, I saw no sign of Bucketman. I did, however, go into the Westfield. I have to say, this Westfield was much nicer than any of the ones I've been to in Australia-they're all far too sterile for my liking. This one had some kind of personality to it. I walked around for a while. I walked past one of those make-up stalls and for some reason decided to not just walk past to the guy working there who say 'hello' to me. Turns out, it's pretty good stuff, so I did actually buy some for a change, and it wasn't expensive either. From memory, I think his name was Giovanni. Nice guy, spoke to him for a while, then continued aimlessly walking around Westfield until I realised 'I'm not actually going to buy anything today...' and left. I then embarked on a long walk to Herbivore (a vegan restaurant) on Divisadero- I've heard the one there is better than the other two in the Bay Area. Here are some pictures I took while on my way there.









Needless to say, this was the best vegan restaurant I have ever been to (I'm also including vegetarian restaurants in this, actually..) and I've been to enough to know the difference between 'okay', 'good' and 'amazing'. This was amazing. Also the first Veg restaurant that I have been to that wasn't based on Asian cuisine. But that's not why it is my favourite. I took some time to take photos of my lovely meal, of which I ate FAR too much. Too bad I have unsteady hands today...




Mushroom sautee


Side Salad


Lasagne.. I couldn't even finish this, I was so full...and somehow I still managed to eat dessert!


AND for dessert... German Chocolate cake. Sascha, if you are reading this, you would love this cake...and the frosting..to die for!

Afterwards I walked back to the hotel (takes about an hour) and on the way went into Walgreens for no reason at all.
