[22:43] Separement - Day 2
I remember why I stopped blogging now, it's hard to get to the end of the day, and then relive it all at bed time :)
Foolishly, I didn't get to bed until midnight but Gabe was somewhat gentle with me, sleeping through until 0615 when he woke me up by carefully peeling my eyelids off my eyeballs. No potty-wees. Had Cheerios with blueberries and tricolour toast (vegemite, peanut butter, honey and banana) for breakfast then high tailed down to Castro St to catch the 0757 Caltrain express; which we missed. Caught the 0827 instead and got to San Francisco at 0916.
We had no plan, other than to go to the city so we just walked down Townsend St to the water and then wandered along The Embarcadaro to Cupid's Span where we stopped for a nappy change and a snack of lychees. Due to the wonders of certain peoples digestive tract (or perhaps it was the cold) we stopped again on the other side of Cupid's Span for another nappy change and more snacks (raisins and Cheerios). Walked on down to Pier 1 and stopped to have a look at, Quebec libre! (aka Vaillancourt Fountain), a fancy waterfall in Embarcadaro Plaza which is exciting in that you can climb a set of stairs and get inside the waterfalls - Gabe was well impresed! We then went and watched the industrial sprinkler that was watering the lawn until someone turned it off. It was getting late so we wandered back up to the Caltrain station in a zigzaggy fashion, mostly up Market until we reached 3rd street. We got back to the station in time to have a hot chocolate at The Creamery and finish our lychees before catching the 1207 train back to Mountain View. It was 1320 when we got back, well past nap time, and Gabe promptly fell asleep the second he hit his car seat and obligingly stayed asleep (with a little cajoling) after a nappy change when we got home.
He slept from 1400 through to 1630 (I had a nap too) and then we hit the park because I was under the mistaken impression that everyone else would be there too. It was desolate when we got there but a little French dude with a blue hat rocked up (I didn't get his name) and they played catch and chase each other up and down the slides until 1800 when we went to Megan and Brian and Liams' place for dinner. Having not seen each other for days (two of them) they were overjoyed and danced and played and poked each other in the eye and then we had corn and sausages and salad and icecream with berries for dinner and played some more. Hometime at 2030, in bed by 2100 but not very happy about it, finally asleep by 2130. I swear we're going to bed early(er?) tomorrow!
