Day Nine

Today was our last full day here and we didn't even know what to do. Granny suggested we "go to Macy's and see if they kick us out." I asked why we would get kicked out and her response was "cause we look like tramps...". I was not expecting that as her response.  She sure keeps things interesting. So we did just that. We walked to Macy's. Tt was three entire buildings (the whole block) with 7 floors. I'm a shopper and it was overwhelming! After exploring all 7 floors we headed to the designer show warehouse, which also happened to be 5 or 6 floors, a girls' paradise. I've never seen so many shoes in one place before! We grabbed a sandwich and then headed to Ross (gong show).  There were way too many people and even more clothes! We hit a few more stores as we went along and then finally decided we couldn't take any more shopping.

 

I suggested we go down to Fisherman's Wharf the the chocolate place to get a supreme hot fudge sundae. I think the round trip getting there on the cable car and back on the bus took more than two hours. But that sundae.... OMG I can't explain how divine it was!!  So worth the trip!

 

 

I think Granny and I are both beat. It's 37 degrees here and with all that walking I know my feet are killing me! Tomorrow we leave bright and early and will be back at home by supper!

 

Day Eight

Today we got up and weren't sure where to start an what to do. Then I suggested being like all the other tourists and going to see the Golden Gate Bridge. So after walking a few blocks, getting on one bus then another and another we finally got to the bridge. Taking a picture just wasn't quite enough so we decided to walk across it. It was a bit of a walk and there was a good breeze out on it. We took lots of pictures although I am sure it will just look like a a bridge to most people. When we got half way granny suggested we walk the whole way and get lunch on the other side. I suggested it didn't look like there was much for food over there but we kept walking. We got to the other side and were hungry but there was no food over there so the only option was to walk back to get food! A good old hot dog never tasted so good.  

 

We got back on the bus and got half way back and then decided to walk the other half to Fisherman's Wharf with a friendly couple we met on the bus. More strangers! Once there we went back to Ghirardelli, the chocolate place and got more chocolate! It was so good!
 

We then went to Ripley's Believe It or Not which was so cool and very interesting. Shane and Dad would have loved it! Granny and I had some fun with the illusions and displays. There were small planes made out of match sticks, a life size moose made of nails, a replica of the lizard man - just to man a few. I stood next to a life size replica of the world's largest man.... I barely passed he's knee! It was very interesting and Granny and I took every opportunity to create fun photo ops!
 

After that excitement was done, we wandered around the streets some more and then headed for some food. We went back to the Irish coffee place. Granny had a beer with a breakfast omelet. We tried to get on a cable car but they were too full so we ended up walking to the bus. We had some issues getting off the bus so we had to back track a few more blocks : )

 

Once back at the hotel out feet were aching, we were exhausted and so ready to just relax and turn on the tellie. I don't think we will be going far for the rest the night!
