Journal Entry:
Amy was supposed to wash her parent's cars yesterday but we locked ourselves out of the house. So this morning I spent a couple hours helping her with the washing. It was a bit cold at first, but when the fog burned off it was a great excuse to be outside. After we finished we celebrated by heading out to a nice restaurant for lunch - unfortunately it was closed, so we ended up at a burrito shop. After lunch we both found travel pants to buy after a quick check on the sales.

We jumped in the car and headed for the city at about six. Somewhat surprisingly there wasn't any traffic. Even more surprisingly I navigated all the way across San Francisco without getting lost. We easily (!) found parking at Wolf's place. Wolf is out of town for a few days so Amy and I borrowed his room so we didn't have to drive back after partying. We had a beer at the apartment, headed out for a light salad for dinner, then had a few more beers at Wolf's. We shared a taxi with Justin (one of Wolf's flat-mates) to Union Ave. We met Sian (a high school friend of Amy's) at a bar called Tonic (at Polk and Union). Amy's friend Pam (was also Peace Corps in Morocco) called around eleven and we caught a taxi down to Mission and met them at Dalva's, a tiny bar on Mission. Dalva's had a much more interesting - and interactive - crowd. Sometime after the traditional countdown Amy and I left Pam and her friends and caught a taxi back to Wolf's in the Marina district. Nothing to exciting, but a fun night out.
