Yay! Yay! ) The Eastside is waiting for us... First stop, San Francisco! My friend and I arrived in San Francisco bright and early. As it turned out, our friends missed their flight, so we headed to the pre-booked hotel on our own. The hotel's location was simply gorgeous. My boyfriend and I dropped off our suitcase and briefcase and set off on our pre-planned route. First, we dove into the inner world of this famous city—we went to Fisherman's Wharf, a world of creativity where they draw the funniest and cheapest caricatures. Definitely treat yourself to one; it'll be nice to remember back home ;) Honestly, the waterfront is pretty standard, just like in other coastal cities, but there is one big BUT... The wind here is absolutely wild... And I'm serious!!! Definitely bring warm pullovers and sneakers with warm socks). After walking around, we grabbed some ice cream, and the smell from the bakery made us so homesick that we went back to the hotel to chat with our families on Skype. About an hour and a half later, we headed off to the Steamship Museum—I don't actually know its real name, but what we saw was mesmerizing: a huge steamship sitting on the water, with its (or maybe not its) massive spare parts displayed nearby. My boyfriend and I went inside, where there was an exhibition of vintage cars—everything in perfect condition... They were so beautiful, as if they had stepped right out of history books. Walking further, we ended up on the deck and took a lot of great photos, when suddenly, turning around, we saw sea lions near the boats—they are so funny! My boyfriend got very close to them, and suddenly the papa sea lion stood up, to which we reacted very quickly))) The panorama was mesmerizing.... After taking a bunch of photos, our hotel beckoned us back with its warmth. We decided to go to the supermarket to pick up groceries for our friend's birthday—we bought a bunch of sweets and flowers and went to prepare for our friends' arrival. In the evening, our globetrotting frogs appeared in all their glory. And our whole friendly group headed to an Italian restaurant for a light snack with cake :) Everything was very beautiful and delicious; after all, Americans know how to make sweets, and Italians know how to make pasta.
