We ate tacos near Powell station at lunch. I was ashamed that one of the girls pointed out a piece of vegetables on my face.
We went up a sloping road along a cable line, and entered China Town Area.

But, we bought nothing in China Town Area. According to a notice in China Town, new metro line is going to be opened underground.
We returned to the hotel.

Because one of the girls was separated from us, because she wanted to meet her senior friend. So, I decided to go to Berkeley by using BART train with the other girl.
Berkeley is famous for University of California, Berkeley. When I walked around the university. A big festival was held. It seemed to be an event to welcome new students.
The girl said "I wish there was atmosphere like this in my university".

This is also a kind of PCC cars


Though a roommate said "I found a man without any cloth was running at Castro", we couldn't find the man.
What was interesting is conversation btween I and a traveler.
The traveler asked me "You are not from San Francisco?"
I replied wrongly "Yes", and soon corrected "No".
In Japan, the way of replying negative questions is opposite to that in English. So, I mistook the saying.


At the end of today's sightseeing, we headed for Haight street to see Hippie Town. What impressed me were graffiti on the walls. On our way to the hotel, we found a playground slide and one of the girls enjoyed it. Because the other girl was in charge of taking pictures of the former girl, the former was as if she was an actress. Hmm, her style is beautiful enough to be an actress.
