Friday 16th
As I was writing this entry, we were standing on the terrace rooftop of Macy’s waiting for a table at the Cheesecake Factory. Below us was the famous Union Square; it sprawls across a city block, lit by a beautiful blue sky. Toni was standing next to me snapping pictures on my old Olympus digital camera.
Union Square, at the time, was decked out in Valentine’s Day splendour, and looked impressive, if understated.

It’s been a mildly relaxing day. Today, shopping day started around 10 am and found me stationed for a long time at a Borders. Toni went the max at Victoria’s Secret.
It’s not a touristy day for us today. We’re all about relaxation and having fun. Toni picked up a free water bottle from Nike Town where they had odd elevators and multi levels.
We bought a new suit case at Macy’s to cover our increasing luggage weight. I bought several Criterion DVDs (can only get here) and the complete Far Side collection – adding to the weight issue.

It’s a simply stunning 70°F day and I doubt we’ll be able to stay in the city long. Golden Gate Park beckons.
We didn’t quite make it – yet. After lunch we ended up at H & M as Toni shopped for new suits. As I was writing this, I was listening to some kind of remix of The Church’s ‘Under the Milky Way’ 
Union Square
Deciding to skip dinner, we ended up finding a Walgreens and buying breakfast cereal to ease our morning woes – lack of half decent breakfast.
I ended up buying an ice cream scoop for use as a spoon, in lieu of 20 plastic spoons for the same price – how zany!?
