Ancient Egypt and China town

Today started off when we went to the neighborhood Wells Fargo to withdraw our funds from our accounts. Upon our arrival, I was greeted by a good looking girl behind the counter, with a smile she asked how she could help me. I asked about withdrawing my cash yadda yadda, and you know what? It worked! It turns out that banks in the United States serve customers not B.S.

After that we decided to hit the local Starbucks Coffee and grab something to eat. When we got there there was a very angry man yelling about stuff that neither of us could really put together, he seemed to like us though and said "God bless you two".

Upon leaving the Starbucks we returned to the motel so we could call a scrap car removal place to remove Morris (memorial services will be held LOL). Now realizing that we have to go to OAKLAND, we get to use the subway again! Anyway, after we did that, we jumped on a bus that took us to a museum.

We entered the museum and it was there that we discovered the biggest archaeological find of the 20th century. It was the King Tut exhibit! We checked it all out and honestly, the replica stuff you see today is only slightly different. It was hard to believe that the artifacts I was looking at were around 3500 years old!

We left the museum, jumped back on the bus and hit up the squiggly part of Lombard st, there were some very nice houses on there but the constant sounds of brakes. It was really REALLY REALLY steep. The sidewalks were full of tourists and at the bottom, we took some pictures of us, keep an eye on the YouTube channel for the videos!

Headed down to the Financial district tonight and saw the Pyramid. It is the tallest building in San Francisco I think, and we discovered it was only a short walk over to China town. Grabbed some trinkets and a large duffle bag to put our stuff in for the bus trip. On the way out we passed the Church of Scientology and a man in a business suit just about abducted Mitch into the building. Literally just about abducted him. I made sure we both got the fuck out of there.

Tomorrow will be a crazy day, I will try to update before we check out at noon. I think our bus leaves for home around 5:30pm, and I am not sure what we will be up to. If we manage to update there will be a couple of videos instead of text. See you guys soon,

-Steve
