Day out to the city

On Day 2 (Sunday), though still jetlagged, we were ready to explore San Francisco City. So, we hopped onto the train closest to the campus, which went across the bay from Berkeley under water. Agnes was not thrilled with the thought of that but we managed.

Kevin found online that the best place to start is its premier shopping district, Union Square. When we walked up the stairs from the train station we alighted, our eyes were dancing.

the buntings for "Wicked" the musical got Agnes all excited...

After a mandatory-for-Kevin stop at the Information Centre and then lunch, we took a leisurely stroll to the Orpheum Theatre, to get the tickets for "Wicked" the musical, for next Sunday. 

Here's Agnes gleaming with the tickets for the show that was to start in 20minutes! It was the same price with better seats than what we can get for the week after...

We had a great time! We hung around the stage door for a while after the show and caught glimpses of the casts for the Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Elphaba.

After the show, we window-shopped in Westfield, a big shopping centre and afterwards took the train back to campus.

It was almost 8pm by the time we got our take-away dinner and there was still plenty of daylight. It was awesome!
