Wednesday's edition is brought to you by Julie! This morning we woke up to clear skies again! Taking advantage of the beautiful weather, we decided to head down to Union Square for some last minute shopping....and exchanges!! (This time I checked the bum before leaving with my new pants!!!). We stopped at Cafe de la Presse for lunch on the way. Ron opted for steak frites and I for the burger and fries. While we ate, we were entertained by some police activity outside of the China Town gates. As we speculated what celebrity or dignitary might be about to arrive, we were disappointed to see the "Safety Awareness Initiative" banner being hoisted as the streets were closed off.

After lunch, we went to pick up some new boots for the baby. We wanted to get something for the little gaffer while we were here, but given we don't know whether to go down the pink or blue aisles, we opted for shoes. A safer bet. We then made our way back down to the Westfield San Francisco Shopping Centre where we spent some time roaming through Bloomingdales. Ron tried on every pair of jeans in the store while I visited the children's section (shopping for myself isn't quite as fun these days). Another successful shopping trip found us leaving with some new jeans and an overnight bag (convenient to store all the new clothes we've bought) and a sleeper for Rafi (the baby) with a matching "beanie"!

Since it was almost 3pm by the time we were done we figured we should head back to the hotel to officially reserve our room for one last night. A last minute decision to check off one more tourist attraction (along with a reluctancy to climb any more hills) found us hopping on the famous cable car for a lift to the top of the of Powell street. We maximized our 2 minute ride by snapping pictures of the tiny little car and Ron hanging out the side like a scene from the Full House opening credits. Although the $5.00 fare (per person) for our brief ride was not the wisest investment we've ever made, it was definitely worth the excitement.

| Real deal. |
Once back at the hotel and after getting the room situation organized we were back on the trails...destination, unknown. We headed down the hill and found ourselves touring through the streets of China town which was a bit of a let down. In the end we made it back to the Embarcadero to snap some night shots and be entertained by an exercise group who seemed to be following us.

Later at the hotel we were back at the Top of the Mark enjoying the live music and some beverages. After a few beers Ron came up with this solid game plan, clearly sketched on a napkin.

| Our game plan for the next 5 days. Solid. |
