San Francisco - Day 3

We were running out of clean clothes to wear. We knew this day would come, and took our fancy laundry tablets that we smuggled into the US to the coolest laundromat we ever heard of:

Each machine is named, they serve a killer breakfast, and free wi-fi is provided. 

Dryers make me thirsty!

They even have happy hour. How much more hip can you get?

After lugging our fresh set of clothes back to the hotel, we again set out about town. First we had to figure out the transit system (that is not BART), whereby I landed a small deal by taking advantage of a poor French couple who was trying to get rid of a transit pass they didn't use.

Traveling via trolley, we were drawn back to the Ferry building to continue unfinished business with the to-do list, where we had a little something at the Slanted Door:

contains a "hand-carved ice cube"

... and grabbed a little something at Miette Pastry:

Enough eating! Time to continue with the sightseeing. Of course this includes more sightseeing musts, like the touristy Fisherman's Wharf:

Alcatraz Island

Lazy bums

It was getting cold, which apparently is normal San Francisco weather, unlike the hot weather we were enjoying earlier. We started back to the hotel using a historic cable car, not without some drama, as the car encountered some difficulty requiring a "transmission change" on a steep uphill.

After a brief rest at the hotel, we were off to find dinner. We took a bus, searching for and eventually finding much-hyped Flour and Water, but decided not to wait an hour and a half for seating, like others were. So we wandered, and unintentionally found ourselves in another area of the Tenderloin district again!

However there are a smattering of some cool places in the area, and we settled on the French bistro Garcon!.

"Good going, Joe."

We took transit home, observing the interesting scenery that happens at night.

It is truly a great way to see the city.
