After the previous day's sightseeing we were totally shattered so we didn't wake up until noon. We both felt like we were coming down with something so we just lazed around, conserving energy until we went to Martin and Star's place for dinner. We decided to eat out for lunch at a place called Frjtz that serves Belgian fries, crepes and sandwiches. I'd read about it on Yelp.com and it's only around the corner on Hayes Street so we didn't have far to go, except th...

Since Steve had to work last Saturday and we didn't do any sightseeing, we decided we had to go and see something on our 'To Do' list. So today we decided on Coit Tower as it was relatively easy to get to by getting the tram to Fisherman's Wharf and then walking to the tower.

Not much to blog about lately. Steve has been really busy at work as the deadline for the last episode of the show (called Xavier) he's working on is this Friday.

We found a bus that went straight to the park along Hayes Street (number 21) but we just missed it so we decided to have a little wander up Hayes St. where there were quite a few nice looking restaurants and shops which we'll come back to another day.We managed to catch another bus after running for it (lucky I ...
