I left my heart....

The Embarcadero
Humphrey Slocombe
some Mexican restaurant
Academy of Sciences

This was our last day in the city so we had to make sure we made the most of it. So for our last good lunch Randy said he wanted to go back to Gott's for a burger. Of course, like always, it was delicious.

When we walked outside, we saw this long line of people waiting for rotisserie chicken and sandwiches. Maybe we should try here next time!
They have really good open markets here. Everything looks so good!
Across the street from the ferry building were these funny looking heads.
After lunch we were craving ice cream so we took Mmiissee's advice and headed over to the Mission for Humphrey Slocombe! What an awesome find! Thank you Mmiissee!!!
I don't know what's up with this little two headed cow but I thought it was cute so I took a picture of it.
If you check out their website, you'll see that they have a bunch of funky exotic flavors. A single serving consists of 2 small scoops of ice cream, so if you can't decide which flavor you want then at least you can get two of them! I chose sea salt chocolate and peanut butter curry. YUMMMMM!!
Randy had secret breakfast (bourbon + corn flakes? I think that's what he said, I forgot) and Blue Bottle Vietnamese Coffee
Ok, so even after a burger, fries, and ice cream, Randy walked into some Mexican restaurant in the Mission district and ordered a taco!

Later on that evening the California Academy of Sciences held "Nightlife," an event that they hold every Thursday evening, where they open up the museum to guests 21 and over and they have a live DJ playing music and alcohol is served throughout the museum. Oh yah, and you also get in for only 12 bucks!
Kinda gross but I guess someone's gotta do it...
I couldn't take pictures in most of the exhibits because they didn't allow any photography. I was able to take pictures in the aquarium though, but I totally sucked at it. Jalna, you're my idol!! Here's some of my attempts:

we called this Mick and Mattie in lizard form.
This was my only decent picture of the evening...

Wow, that is a long line. You got some great shots of all the cool sea creatures. Great job!

Yah, and when we walked past there an hour later it was still that long!! The people just kept coming, and coming....
Sea creatures are frustrating to take pictures of! I don't know how you're supposed to get the darn things in focus with a slow exposure time while they keep swimming around!!

Nice shooting!! I'm gonna miss the SF stuff too now that you're home. That Randy is MY idol how he can eat and eat and still be skinny. BTW cow heads on the wall is NOT cute. That's gross . . . ewwww.

That line was unreal. To think people will stand in a line that long to get something to eat. :) Your Randy is a bottomless pit. hahaha!! You certainly did a lot in just a few short days.

I know huh? The amazing thing is is that I think the line was moving fairly quickly. That must be some amazing chicken! Randy makes me sick...he eats and eats and eats and never gains a pound...grrrr....
