Day 2, San Francisco

I just seem to have Alcatraz problems. Last year we went to the wrong pier, and almost missed the ferry. This year, our reservation was for next Sunday. That was embarrassing; everyone off the bus, everyone back on the bus.
We are going to Alcatraz tomorrow morning. We flipflopped part of the schedule. We did the city tour today, not that any of the kids cared about it. They liked the stop at Twin Peaks, the highest point in San Francisco. They enjoyed stopping at the Pacific ocean for a beach fix. Many were shocked that the water was freezing. I mean, this is California, the beaches are all supposed to be perfect.
We had a fubar at Lombard Street. (crookedest street in the world.) The kids were supposed to leave the bus, walk to the top of Lombard, but to the bottom of the zigzag part. A bunch of them walked all the way to the top. I had to YELL SUPER LOUD to get them to move their asses down. Our driver got a parking ticket for $250.00 for waiting too long. I could've killed the kids. Oooooh. speaking of killing, 2 of the girls switched rooms last night without permission, and lied that they were allowed. When caught, they weren't apologetic at all, just pissy. I yipped at another girl for leaning across some one's Mercedes. How entitled are you to think it's ok to lean on someone else's vehicle?
After we got caught back up with our schedule, we went to the Union Street Fair. I enjoyed it more than the Haight Ashbury Street fair. This one was all about natural, vegan, art, and jewelry. It had a slightly older, much cleaner, less smelly crowd. We got free tote bags from Kashi, Kashi samples, organic apple sauce samples, Starbucks, Myers cleaning products, Science Diet dog food, and probably more. Roomie had a vegan lunch, she was having broccoli withdrawal. I had a feta, spinach, and tomato crepe, then a dessert crepe with coconut and banana. Yum.
We next went to Chinatown for about 90 minutes. The kids are supposed to stay together in groups of 3 or more, and needed lots of reminding.
We stopped at Grande Avenue near the hotel for dinner. About half the kids wanted Chinese, and the rest wanted Mexican, so we split up. The bill for the Mexican place was only $140.00 for 25 of us. It was great. The other half of the bus enjoyed the Chinese.
We're back at the hotel, and I think that's it for now.
