Journal Entry:
I left in the morning to go wait in line at the Indian Consulate. The Bay Bridge traffic was a nightmare - very strong winds kicking up water from the bay made for very bad visibility - it took well over an hour to get across. By the time I found the consulate I only had a half hour to get my visa application in. The wait at the consulate was a pleasant surprise, apparently most people weren't willing to brave the storm, and the entire application took me less than five minutes. I had no problem figuring out the quick way across town to downtown SF, but then had to deal with hellish parking due to some convention.

I met Amy who had taken the BART if from the east bay. We spent the afternoon shopping downtown and had a late lunch, then jumped back in the car to go pick up my visa. Luckily traffic wasn't a problem, and once again there was no wait at the consulate so in about half an hour we were back downtown looking for parking. We finally found a sketchy spot and headed for the Sony Metronome. We played around in the stores a little, then went to see a movie, Finding Forester - which we both liked. After the movie we met Wolf downstairs and had a few beers. I handed over my jeep - Wolf's keeping it for me again, then Amy and I caught the second to last BART back to Oakland.
