Day 20

Today we woke up at about 9:00. We waited for Milton and Sandra to come home from yoga so that they could help us decide what to do downtown. At 10:30 Milton dropped David and I off at the Bart. We took the train to the Montgomery stop which is just outside of Chinatown. We spent about 30 min trying to find a good place to eat in for lunch. Most importantly a cheap place. We ended up going to this little Chinese place where for 5 bucks we were able to get 2 beef dumplings, 2 pot stickers, a pork filled bun, a Chinese donut, a little meat turnover thing, and this giant fried piece of bread that despite being extra greecey tasted pretty bad. Then we were off to find some souvenirs that would be unique to Chinatown. We hit a home run in this category. We found some kick ass Chinese silk robes that are sexy and reversible. Some other great finds were 79 cent San Francisco Mugs and a porcelain sex figurine. After walking around in Chinatown it was about 3pm and we decided we would walk to the Fisherman's Wharf. We got some good pictures of Alcatraz and of a floating restaurant. By that time it was after 4 and we took the street car back to the Bart. Once we got back to Berkley Milton came and picked us up. After much discussion we ended up going a Indian Restaurant that was slow but good. Now it is 9:45 and we will soon be going to sleep. David keeps complaining about my snoring but I think he has stopped crying about it and realized he will just have to deal with it.

Just read 18 & 19 which were great. Who is writing?
How long are you staying in Berkley?
Barbara says the Chinese word for one of your dishes is DIM SUM.
Today the new bed is coming,Saturday the mattress so we should be back in the Bedroom this weekend.
Have you considered changing the oil in your car engine and checking other items such as battery terminals,etc. Look in the manual for recomendations and possible recalls. Love to ALL! Grandpa

Chinatown is fun and cheap and obviously very sexy--that part must have escaped me on my last visit. Sounds like you're having a blast.
