Cable Cars, Cannabis, Coats, Choc-Aid, and Coit Tower

After lunch at Medicine New-Shojin Eatstation (that's so fun to type), we headed out to the Cable Car station for the Powell and Hyde line. We stopped by a sidewalk sale to buy Shelly a scarf, so she now seems like a real San Franciscan. A man in a business suit and sneakers stopped by to purchase a wallet to replace his aging, marijuana-leaf-emblazoned wallet. He had just come from a job interview, hoping to restart his programming career since his bail bondsman career went down the tubes. (He decided it was time to quit after being stabbed by a client.)

Jason needed to stop by a store to purchase a new winter jacket to protect against the winds. Again, we hadn't expected San Francisco to be so chilly.

We waited in line for a fairly long time in order to board the Cable Car. We took it up and down the hills, all the way up to Fisherman's Wharf. We bought Shel's mom a thank-you gift, a box of 'Choc-Aid: Chocolate for life's boo boos'. We walked along Fisherman's Wharf, took a few pictures of the Golden Gate bridge and Alcatraz, and took a tour of Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill.

We then headed over to Chinatown, but it seemed to be very quiet, especially for a Friday night. We did see four guys playing what can only be called 'soccer volleyball' in a park. Think volleyball but with soccer's rules for touching the ball. We proceeded to Nob Hill, which also seemed very quiet. Hopefully, we'll be able to find a nice place for dinner near the hotel.
