Day 3
We went down to San Francisco and Fremont today. It took us three hours to fight through traffic into the city (bottlenecks to the tollbooths on the Bay Bridge and whatnot), and then we spent an hour and a half in Golden Gate Park. Weather in San Francisco is amazingly different from the area just outside; being near the water, San Francisco can have huge amounts of fog even when the sun is beating down everywhere else.
We saw the Transamerica Pyramid, Treasure Island, Golden Gate Bridge, and Alcatraz Island coming into the city, and also the Twin Peaks and Sutro Tower, though the Sutro Tower was largely covered by the fog... Mm ... what else? We went to the De Young Museum and Japanese Tea Garden over in the Park, and I took pictures of the little pagoda, bridges, and other things around. I was largely amused to just have been able to see Alcatraz Island from a distance, even if I couldn't take pictures from the car.
We went to Fremont afterwards to meet with one of my Mom's old classmates from middle school. We ate at an Asian buffet over there that was actually quite nice. They even had a chocolate fountain, which a lot of kids were abusing by sticking their ice cream into the stream.
Plan for tomorrow is to go boating with the couple that my older brother is a tenant to. Apparently he told them that we were in town for a few days and they invited us to spend a day on their boat. We went and bought a pair of life jackets to bring onto their boat prior to heading to San Francisco. If we were on some sort of schedule for this trip, I doubt we would have had this kind of opportunity. I'm glad we're just winging this entire thing.
Have mentally been reworking JS since the beginning of this trip. All of the time on the road leads to time to think of ... whatever I want to, really. It's refreshing. Nash gained a new weapon, Thomas and Nanami both got a new layer of potential, Clive and Luc found some dynamic, Futch disappeared, and some Suikoden IV and V characters have worked their ways into the whole mix. Apple and one of the Suikoden V characters have been the ones I've been channeling as of late, for better or for worse... I also realized that I had several True Runes to rearrange. At least the most difficult one, the Rune of Punishment, found a final bearer. (I say difficult because I'd have to kill each bearer of the Rune until it reaches that final bearer, and that's no fun...)
