Coffee and tea at home. Muni to Montgomery Station. Walked to City View, taking photos of Financial District buildings along the way. Met Danny at City View for dim sum. Neil tried two new dim sum dishes: walnut prawns and lettuce wraps. Neesha mentioned wanting to get her nails done, so afterwards Danny rode to work on his scooter and the rest of us took the California line cable car to the spa. Neesha got her nails done in a green that's very close to the spa's green. Neil got a foot and leg massage. I rested. Neil, Neesha, and I rode Muni to Ghirardelli Square. Neesha bought cupcakes from Kara's, Neil got a chocolate-covered waffle cone with mint-chocolate-chip ice cream. We sat in the sunny courtyard and watched people and talked. We walked along the piers, seeing seafood restaurants and lots of tourists. Got tired of the tourists and took a Muni F bus to Embarcadero. Muni underground from Embarcadero Station to Powell Street Station. Shopping: Forever 21, Gap Fit, Aldo Shoes, more. I got hungry and we stopped at Walgreens Flagship where I had a Delish veggie wrap and small, fresh-squozen orange juice. Walked to Mission Street. Muni 14 to PDDR's. This was an awfully crowded bus ride. Dinner with Danny, Drew, and Romy: crab and noodle soup, pancit, rice, brussels sprouts, trout, carrots. Dessert: buko salad. The birds were very noisy tonight. We had a really hard time getting a cab home and ended up taking Muni instead. Did some reading from Shooting in Sh*tty Light: The Top Ten Worst Photography Lighting Situations and How to Conquer Them.
