CABLE CITY: DAY 1

I know I'm a little delayed in updates, but getting adjusted to this LA hot weather we suddenly have has been killin' me! Here goes some pictorial updates. 56K-ers: plan to cook a meal while this thing loads...

It was a fine day to venture up north to the Bay Area as the mark for this week-long event we call spring break, and we were please to find much sunshine, blue skies, and a cool fresh breeze. From the day we got there, there were numerous strange sightings, but that's what I love about the city of San Francisco: A view from the top:The city of too many damn hills:First up, we hit up Upper Haight, of course, and cruised down like true hippies back in the day:What's a historic place without an overwhelming amount of graffiti?Had to hit up Giant Robot and how it's holding down in SF:I'm Za Man.In Rainbows:Lipped Jeans chair?!Icy cold:Haight x AshburyAdidas Jam Master Jay commemorationTRUE SF:TRUE tv display:Wall o' shoes @ TRUE Sole:Stussy SF:Ghostride the whipCars don't park on horizontally flat spaces here yoMore bars in more placesMade me miss the good ol' days sidewalk-chalkin' it:Union Square:This guy's about to be dunzo:Jumped, grabbed my Goyard trunk...HUF:Real kick ass shit right here:Shopping around and visiting stores brought us up to Post Street, where we found this enclave of people (mostly Asian), standing out in line to get into the oh-so-mysterious new Hundreds SF store for some exclusive drops.The display: a big granite-colored block of blob, you see it?..yea, THAT is the point:Adam watching over SF:Sorry, no pictures inside, but you can visit The Hundreds for their store opening pics, which happened to take place the day before. The crew has lined up a slew of collaborations, including Benny Gold, Hieroglyphics, Foreign Family, Kelis (Tens), and many more.Apparently, up here, they COMBINE ramen & sushi stores, two meals in one!The hills:Rainbow love:Ghirardelli Square where they make them chocolates:Fisherman's Wharf:It's all about clam chowda and seafood here baby, even if it's all deep fried:Boudin bread factory/"museum" aka building of excessive carbohydrates:I'm not sure if this place was a true candy lover store, or if it was merely a facade for selling other things:Like pasta boobs (which obviously have no affiliation with chocolate whatsoever...but okay I understand gummy boobs):
And these:Or these:Anyway, all in all, it was a fun-filled, very packed day of sightseeing, shopping, and eating...all while breathing in the crisp, bay area air. Time to get back on the train. Supposedly this one goes to the area most diverse of LGBT:N Judah to call it a day:Except, the sad thing was that we had to hike up 4 blocks of pure 45 degree angle hill to make it back safely to our place of stay. Never. will. do. ever. again. period. The trek made our legs ache for days. DAYS. Maybe because we were rushing in case intruders came along and tried to attack us. In any case, we were safe, and knocked the hell out until our next adventure day. This was a huge ordeal to update this post with this many pictures, so the next one will be quite a bit shorter. Until I feel like posting day 2...peace with love from the north.
