John's Birthday

Today is John's birthday - his last year in the twenties!!! Finally....
To celebrate, we took a trip from Jeeta's place to San Francisco, which is about 45 minutes away. We explored Fisherman's Wharf - but the weather turned out to be a lot colder and windier than expected. Apparently, summer months in San Fran are colder, and some of their best weather is in October - called the "Indian Summer."

At Fisherman's Wharf, we had the famous "Clam Chowder in a Sourdough Bread Bowl."
Mmmmm... yummy. Perfect for the colder weather too... We also visited a candy shop, and saw 1 or 2 performers who were braving the strong winds.

We spent the rest of the day touring the city, driving thru the ridiculously steep streets of San Francisco - it's like riding a roller coaster. We drove along Lombard Street - known as the "crookedest street in the world." We enjoyed the rest of the evening with a dinner at a Sengali restaurant "Bissap Baobab."(www.bissapbaobab.com) Highly recommend it if you visit San Fran and like spicy, ethnic food... yummy for a good price :)
