It’s been a good but weird day. We stood in line for almost an hour to have breakfast at a local hotspot called Mama’s, the food and the staff were great. It was different because when you entered the restaurant they had you stand in front of the cooking area and order your food and pay before seating you. It worked out better because people didn’t waste time deciding what they wanted and the food got out quickly. I had two poached eggs over a bed of black beans with homemade salsa and soft tortillas. We than slowly made our way down to fishermen warf but not before stopping over at a few shops to pick up a few necessities. Once there we hopped on a San Francisco trolley that took us all over the city. We got to go inside Golden Gate Park, see the street and house where Full House was based in, see Union Square and the Golden Gate Bridge. Initially, we were only suppose stay at the bridge for 20 minutes but my friend accidently gave the gift shop cashier $200 instead of $100 because the bills were stuck together. Unfortunately when we went back to tell the cashier what happened he couldn’t do anything about it until he cashed in his till. We left our phone numbers and hoped that they would return the $100. When we were leaving the store we saw our trolley bus leaving and we were stuck for an hour waiting for the next trolley. Lucky we were left behind because the cashier called and said his till was $100 over so he returned the money and we got to meet another Canadian travelling in San Francisco too. Afterwards we landed back at Fishermen’s Warf and we did some shopping! We saw a local boutique shop and we both got dresses.

We also ended up going to La Mar for dinner, the restaurant suggested to us by the Canadian couple we ran into the night before. The food was amazing. Most of the food was authentic Peruvian or Peruvian inspired dishes. We shared two appetizers, a sashimi like dish with Mahi Mahi fish and special sauce and a salad with awesome dressing and pickled carrots. My friend had a beef tenderloin dish and I had a seafood dish with shrimp, squid, octopus, mussels and clams over rice. The atmosphere and servers were great.
We had some issues getting back to our hostel because everyone is out in full force celebrating St. Patrick’s day and it took us forever to find a taxi to get back but we eventually found one standing in front of the Hyatt Hotel and got back in one piece.
