Dragged myself out of bed early to meet a friend, missing my re hydrating bottle of water that was confiscated at the club the night before. Had a shower, took some panadol and coffee and went back to bed for a nap- yes, yes i am a grandma! Spent the day with my friend on the hop on hop off bus, had brunch at The Haight, which is SFs version of Brunswick- so many hipsters you could cry... or die! Was fun doing the tourist thing and NOT being alone for once. Riding over the Golden Gate Bridge on an open top bus on a foggy day was very different from walking over it on a sunny day. Cold and mysterious, you can't see in front of you. It is like in the cartoons when the cloud comes to life and opens its mouth and moves towards you and you get 'swallowed'.
Dragged my roommate out for dinner at a nearby japanese sushi place before cocktails at The Swig, a place that reminded me of (and made me miss) Carlton Club back home. Bought a very cheap bottle of smirrdoff from the liquor store
"You look 17"
"I am 24. Do you need ID?"
"Hell yeah honey! Hmm... ok you ok then. Go on then. You look so young, be careful!"
LOL! Had a fun quiet night playing foozeball and pool at the hostel and met some cool people. I picked up on the slight aussie accent from across the room, this Kiwi guy who has been in Sydney for 2 years. I almost asked him to say "G'day Mate" for me, just because I was nostalgic! I was falling off my bar stool, and jarring awake as the cues hit the balls, so i went to bed at 2 am. A nice day.
