SF Part deux

So i'm in my second home, SF! god i miss this fucking city. who knew? So we hopped on the vespa and headed into the heart of chinatown to have some dim sum. I haven't had dim sum since like freshman year in college, and that was not that cool. But this time was alright. For those who have never done dim sum it's like they have chinese appetizers like rolls and pork puns and shrimps and shit and they walk around with trays and you take whichever ones you want and pay by the amount you get. Anyways it was hard because the waiters didnt' speak english and so we were like "what is in this one?" and no one could answer so we ended up eating some unsavery things. But it was still fun. We had inteded to do a nice walk in chinatown but afterwards we realised that this was actually an oxy moron as chinatown is not nice but rather dirty. We also had major food coma and just wanted to find a park or something to take a nap. We left to find said park and as we drove through downtown i saw this!!

The San Francisco base of the Church of Scientology! Da Da DAAAAAA! so scary. There was a man pacing back and forth in front of the door.

I think this was him...Anyways it was a really pretty building so they have lots of money but i still didn't want to get too close. I didnt' know this but apparently this is the Scientology symbol. Actually parked right outside we saw a car with this symbol on it, like how peopel do the jesus fish. We drove on.

We went to this rich neighborhood on the side of golden gate called Sea cliff and randomly ended up at this secret beach called Baker Beach. So nice! it was not cold like oceanside and you could kind of see the golden gate through the fog. Anyways i had thought it a good idea to buy a small blanket at walgreens incase we happened upon a park or something and we spread it out on the sand and took a PHAT nap! oh man it was the best nap EVER!

Isn't it cool how you can see the fog on the dunes. If you squint you can kind of see golden gates legs in the background. Ooh la la. Can you believe i was barefoot? i've changed.

This picture only goes to show that we are both so ridiculously short it's pathetic. Our kids are going to be midgets. I also kind of think our height and proportions make each other look fat when in reality we aren't fat. he and i are both actually quite petit.

Then we drove to ocean beach and on the way we went by Robin Williams Mansion. I couldn't get a pic because the vespa was going too fast but it was kind of tacky. He was growing a topiary dinasaur. I decided that if i were a celebrity i would live in SF because it's nice enough to still be california, you could get a phate house, and people are apathetic enough about those kinds of things that you wouldn't get attacked my paparazzi and fans and shit. Anyways we ended up at some restaurant called the beach challet or something like that. I thought it would be a lot cooler but it just kind of ended up being a glorified cheesecake factory with home brews and a view of the beach.

David did the beer sampler and this was his version of a douche bag drinking light beer.

Afterwards we went for a walk in Golden Gate Park. Who knew the park was so cool. I'm going back today to hit up all the museums and shit. i wanted to see the tulip garden with fellow windmill but the tulips were not in season. This is it but wouldn't it look cool with tulips? This is what i imagine all of holland looking like. Then we continued on and apparently down the street they have bison. So i guess when they were endangered they brought them here to mate and then released the babies into the wild. they were almost six feet tall which is kind of ridiculous to think about and i was emagining dances with wolves and tatanka and all that shit. Anyways they were not as cool as would be expected but right outside of the bison pen there was this little gopher who was popping out his head eating grass. oooh nature!!
I wasn't going to touch it because i'm not an idiot but david wanted a nature shot of me and the gopher, nature in the middle of a city, humanity and animals, vespa helmet and gopher teeth, you get it.
Then we drove off and headed to david's uber hipster "neighborhood" market, bi rite. I mentioned it before as the place where we bought kitschy water, but then ivan informed me of the difference between kitsch and camp and i think in reality we bought campy water. When you have kitsch only others knwo it's kitsch but you are unaware, but when you have camp you know you have camp and you dont' care. get it? anyways it was definitely camp as i was ever aware of hating myself.

feeling good that we had "bought right" we went home to make dinner and find that in fact you can get sunburned at 3 in the afternoon. luckily i had a sweater over my face but my legs got burnt. Poor david is all red with a polo shirt tan. He is doing his pediatric rotation right now and was kept up at night wondering "how am i going ot explain to children that they have to wear sunblock when i didn't wear sunblock???? how how!!" and "do you think i have skin cancer now??" the lie we came up with for the children is that dr. david only wore spf 10 which is why you should always wear spf 40. and let that be my final lesson for you all. don't forget to wear sunscreen.
