Moday shopping day

1.Left: We head to get money changed in China town.


Then Marie is off shopping for the day, while I'm off for adventure with the boys.




2. Right: the park off Lombard Street at the bottom.

We stop at Lombard St, where there is a great park next to the library. I try to wipe down a slippery slide, so Louis goes down the fully wet one, and I'm not sure if Ollie didn't somehow get water in his shoes also. We're running around today, so no chance to get cold.

3.left; Lombard St

After this it's up Lombard St, the wiggliest section of it, which the boys run up, and get the great view. A drink stop after, the boys have a biscuit, which ends up being lunch.





4. right; the Musee Mecanique.

We head off to the Musee Mechanique. This place is full of old computer games, and mechanical games, many costing just a quarter (25c).





5. left; Pacman is a hit.

For example, my favourite is the execution, where a prisoner is mechanically hung. Another the prisoner gets the gullotine.





6. right; the mechanical boxing game is a hit.

Louis bowls, we do some Space Invaders, mechanical ice hockey,





7. left; and the hit of the day is the steam shovel which picks up chewing gum balls. It takes many turns to get a handful of them into the chute.

Then onto the quickest bus we can find, the 30, to the cinemas to watch Monster Trucks, which is quite a good film it turns out. Everyone gets into that one.

 Dinner is with Marie. We checked out the Chinese star signs, eg year of the dog etc. Ollie is a pig. Louis is a Rat, maybe? The boys and Marie had dinner at Sushi.

8. left;  night out with DanO 23rd Jan 2017.

Before dinner turns up, I headed up to the Page St bar in the Haight for beer and pool with DanO.

We go down to the Mission for more beer and pool. I argue with the server about the change. Not sure what happened. It's a weird kind of night. Dinner is a sausage on a roll once final drinks is called. Marie has been waiting up for me, since she's not sure in a strange city, and we all finally crash at 2am.

9.right: 27 Oct 2006 - hasn't changed a bit!
