San Francisco, Day Three

 Day Three was great! We started out by heading to the Golden Gate Bridge, and walking to the half way mark and back. Then from there, it was a very short trip to Fort Point (located directly under the bridge), so we checked that out. It was really cool to check out the underbelly of the Golden Gate Bridge.

 From there, we moved onto The Haight. We scoped out Amoeba Music (very cool if you're a music person... pretty impressive vinyl selection), went in a few other shops (including a Head Shop as one is want to do when in The Haight), and of course, as cheesy as it is, had my picture taken at Haight & Ashbury.

 From there, I met up with my friend that I haven't seen since we were theatre interns together ten years ago in New Hampshire, and we had a picnic of fresh figs and goat cheese in Dolores Park, where we spotted a giant adult slip n' slide (would have gone down it if we didn't have plans to go to the theatre). We then took the Muni to Union Square to meet our friend Susan (who was also in our intern company) and hung out with her for a bit before checking out her performance of David Mamet's 'Race' at A.C.T. After catching the show and meeting Susan at the stage door, we went to Grand Cafe, which was excellent for drinks and a noshing session, and more time to chat and catch up. The two of them got me on the right bus, and I headed back to home base.

 It was a long, yet excellent day with great friends and family, and I really couldn't have asked for more.

 Per usual, here are a few photos from the day:
