Everybody Hanging in San Francisco

Today was the day where everyone was going to hang out in San Francisco. We started majorly late though. It was hard to get everyone to meet up at the same time. We also decided to take the CalTrain so no one has to drive back late at night. Since there was a lot of lag, we didn't make it in time for the 2:15 pm train and had to wait for the 3:15 train.

The train ride was super long! It took about an hour and a half to two hours! Geeperz!

We were all extremely hungry by the time we got off the train. Denise and Ray suggested San Tung, which they said had really delicious chicken wings. So, that's where Philip and Christian were waiting for us.

It was about 5/6 miles away, so we had to grab two Lyft cars. But oh my goodness! Our driver, who mentioned that he's new (we were his 3rd customer), took the freaking long way around! He also used Waze for GPS rather than the app with Lyft. We texted them in the other car and wanted to compare. They're driver went straight down the street, which is a MUCH shorter distance. And in the end, we got charged double! Uggg. Totally going to email the crap out of them until they take care of this!

Oh well, here we were! Now we had to wait about 30 minutes for a table to be ready. Instead of waiting around, we decided to walk down the street and find a bar. We found Blackhorn Tavern, which was only about a few buildings down. We were all there, except for Ann and Geoff.

And finally, 30 minutes later, food! Every one was famished. We ordered 2 plates of fried rice, 2 plates of chow mein, 1 plate of mongolian beef, plate of kung pao chicken and 3 plates of their famous chicken wing!

All the food was okay, but the chicken wings were definitely delicious!

After dinner, we wanted to see if we can tour a bit of SF. At first we were going to head out to Golden Gate Park, but some others wanted to check out Dolores Park. When we got there, it was pretty dark already, and they were doing construction on half of the park. Plus, it majorly reeked of that reefer so me and Jeric walked away and across the street towards Bi-Rite, which was a very popular ice cream chain that Denise said had thee best salted caramel ice cream. I was thinking of grabbing some, but the line was just way too long.

By that time, Geoff and Ann texted us and said they were gonna be at Trick Dog, which was this restaurant/bar. It was only about a mile or two away, so we all decided to walk there. Big mistake.. LOL. Yes, it's only about a mile or so away, but damn, them hills are killer!

We hung out for awhile and it was really fun. Then Ivan and Marianne were gonna head out because Marianne wasn't feeling well. Me and Jeric thought we should head back too, so we headed out with them. Ivan called for an Uber and we got in and were headed towards the nearest CalTrain station. Then, funny thing, the driver noticed he totally picked-up the wrong passengers! LOL. It was completely his fault because he didn't ask us for our name. We totally ended up with a free ride! Sweet! It was a black car too, fancy!

We finally made it to the train station and I was pretty hungry. I read the train schedule and saw that the train was leaving at 10:45 and it was only 10:01. Since we had time, we all headed out to look for food nearby. When we got back, Jeric thought it was weird that it would be 10:45 when the last train was at 12:05am and they're usually scheduled about an hour apart. He even thought he over heard that the next and last ride out is at 12:05am. So, he went back to the train schedule and oh my goodness. I totally read the schedule wrong! Doh!! We totally missed the 10:15 train by 15 minutes because we left for food because I said 10:45. Now we had to wait an hour and a half! Plus, all of our phones were either dead or on the verge of dying. Whoopse! Sorry guys.

Since we were taking the last ride out, we thought we'd run into the rest of the gang. But when it came time to board they were no where in sight. We were pretty worried because they were at a bar and who knows if they got out of hand drinking. And then, only Ivan had some life on his phone, but right after he texted Marky, his phone died. There's nothing else we could do, but hope they made it in time.

Gotta love the last train out! All them drunkards appear. LOL. We were at the very back car and already seated. But then it smelled like feces. Stinky, hot feces. Someone joked about farting but there was no way that was a fart! It never dissipated. In fact, it was growing stronger every second. GROSS! Yah, me and Jeric got up real quick and moved to the next car up. Of course, after the train's been in motion for a good few minutes, the girl next to us pukes! Luckily there wasn't a stench.

After several stops, we saw Denise and Ray walking from car to car and they noticed this girl.. who we noticed earlier because she was super loud and was totally drunk talking to the couple in front of us. Denise said they were at a different stop than us (which was why we didn't see them board with us) and that that lady was there, but on the opposite side and she yelled at them asking if they were going to Palo Alto. Someone answered her no, but she made here way up the stairs, down the walkway, and down the stairs to where they were. LOL. At first, she minded her own business, but then she was all up in their personal space and shouting some nonsense about being against the bullet train. And apparently she peed her pants. When me and Jeric heard that, we got up super quick and made our way to one of the front cars to see if we can find another seat. LOL. So gross! Gotta love the last train out! Always a buncha folks who can't handle their liquor!

Thankfully we were all together and luckily Ray and Patrick still had life on their phone because we still needed to grab a Lyft or Uber back to the hotel, which we were able to do before their battery life was almost out!
