My first full day in San Francisco was truly one to remember! Well, besides the fact that my body determined 6:30 a.m. CST was still an appropriate time to arise (4:30 a.m. PST)!!
I ate some breakfast at my townhouse, and I headed out for the day. I figured out the public transit system, and I explored downtown all morning. I purchased my Clipper Card, which is my monthly pass to all the public transit in the city! Then, I sat down and did some quality people-watching for a while next to the ocean!!
After a quick trip back to the townhouse for some lunch, I headed downtown again for the 2 p.m. first pitch between the San Francisco Giants and the Arizona Diamondbacks at AT&T Park!! Did you really think I would totally abandon sports for a day? :) The Giants were victorious and the Memorial Day festivities at the ballpark were AWESOME!!!!
I left the ballgame and headed to the Caltrain, which took me south of town to Palo Alto. I met up with my brother at the station, and we headed to meet up with some prominent individuals from Stanford, and I had the opportunity to visit with one of the top men who founded Facebook (not Zuckerberg, though). It was a lot of fun, and the Memorial Day fun was topped off with an evening cookout at a local friend's house in Palo Alto.
San Francisco is very accessible, and I enjoyed my first full day here!! I begin work tomorrow, so it is time to get some shut-eye for the night. I look forward to sharing many great experiences with you on this trip, and as always, thanks for reading!!
