All you need is GPS, a Sidekick....and a sweet ride

To pick up where were we left off....we went to pick up our correct rental car, a convertible PT Cruiser. We got the keys and to our surprise it said "Overheating" on the windshield, had a unfinished cup of tea in the cup holder, dirty floors, and a half a tank of gas. Long story short we made a pretty big stink about it, Kirsten definitely got a little loud with the guys there, and we ended up with a black 2008 jeep wrangler...pretty bad ass. I want one now. We then went to check in to our villa in Berkeley. Its pretty amazing...small, but very cozy. It took a little bit of searching around the winding and steep roads to finally get there...even with the help of our GPS. After relaxing there for a while we left to go check out the fisherman's wharf, and pier 39 in downtown San Fran. We could see Alcatraz in the distance, which we hope to get a tour of later, and found some fat lazy sea lions resting on some docks in the marina....that was Kirsten's favorite part for some reason....im not surprised...doesn't take much. They were funny to watch though, one kept kicking the other one off of the dock.
We then went to eat in the Haight Ashbury section of town. I took Kirsten to a place I had gone on tour called El Balazo, one of the best burritos I've ever had. When I was there in March on tour I left a little note for Kirsten to read when we came back. I was pretty confident this was going to be one of our stops for the honeymoon at the time. I think she liked it. Man the burritos are so good there, I can't believe I ate the whole thing.
After that we went driving around again and watched the sunset somewhere along the bay, not sure where. Finally we ended up at Cafe Du Nord to see a show later that night. We went to see Jeremy Enigk give an acoustic perfomance there. He used to be in one of my favorite bands Sunny Day Real Estate, and Kirsten liked one of his songs in another band called Fire Theft. It was really cool, we could't stay for the whole thing because we still hadn't slept since Monday night, but still cool.
