San Francisco Day #3

So, I was having issues with getting WiFi since I posted my last blog and consequently need to catch up on 3 days worth of blogging.. I could put it all in one blog, but it might be easier on the eyes to split them into three (Seriously, would you want to read one humongous blog, or three kinda big but maybe, hopefully, still bearable to read through...?)
Here goes...

Day #3

Today started out quite nicely. I think I had a kinda slow-ish start getting out today, but I went for a walk and found myself at Union Square, where I got a taste of San Franciscan style Animal Rights. Had a short chat with a local vegan. I am constantly being surprised with how nice people here are. I suppose I'm not used to genuinely friendly people. It's odd, I love it. I love the way the locals talk too.

Everyday I've been here, I've walked past one of these campuses at least once. There are so many, scattered throughout the city. This was, originally, the art school I wanted to go to, when I first found out about it 3 or so years ago. It was the place that made me think "you know what, I actually WANT to attend University", as opposed to feeling like I had to do it, and it wasn't long after I realised that Fine Arts is what I wanted to study (thank you to my 11th grade Art Teacher, Miss Kyriakides). As it happens, I am not attending this school. It's probably impossible, but a girl can dream, right? Kinda breaks my heart every time I see that logo though... and they have banners at nearly every street corner (or it seems that way).

Anyway...I ended walking up what might have been Stockton Street and eventually ran into another tourist, from Germany. Turns out she was heading for Fisherman's Wharf, as was I, so we walked there together for a while. Walked past what looked to be some kinda street fair or party of sort. I meant to go past it on the way back to see what it was, but I ended up walking back a different way, along the bay. Anyway. We got to Fisherman's Wharf, it was expectantly windy. I'm not sure if you can tell in the photo though. Saw the Sea Lions at Pier39, of which I wont include a photograph, because if I did that then I'd feel obligued to include several other photos which would just clog up this post and probably cause the page to load really slowly. The Sea Lions were sweet! Some of the were huge, and others were really small (pups!!!). I walked down Embarcadero and saw crowds and crowds of Sailors. I ended up walking a total of four hours today. It felt good, but was sort of a shock to the system, seeing as I've done very little walking since I got my Driver's License in November.
