I am borrowing the term "re-connections" from a friend's (Anne) blog http://www.slowtrav.com/blog/andasamo/. I love that term.
So we now come to Saturday, July 10th, 3rd day of our reunion. Saturday was a free day for everyone. No planned activites during the day. We gather later for dinner and dancing.
Saturday morning a group wanted to catch a cable car ride ... this is San Francisco after all. Upon finding the lines too long, a decision to ride other forms of transportation was made... Tracey suggested the F train...
Yes, Tracey is still the unofficial guide. :)
... but somehow that turned into walking excursion to the Embarcadero. I did not realize that the Embarcadero was that close to downtown. I need to get myself really acquainted with this city!
So we walked to the Embarcadero, Tracey guides us along. We reached the Ferry Building which was my destination for the day. Tracey was going to introduce me to the Farmers Market here.
Lunch at the Market Restaurant...
The rest of the group decided to take Muni to Fisherman's Wharf. Cravings for sourdough and clam chowder is why!
After a wonderful day of a fabulous lunch, walk around Ferry Building open market, celebrity sighting (Joe Montana), buying cheeses, and eating gelato, Tracey and I were ready to go back to the hotel and get ready for tonight's dinner.
Intramuros was the restaurant we had reservations at... It is a few miles out of the city. Intramuros is a Filipino restaurant that I recently discovered. A friend asked why take Filipinos to a Filipino restaurant? Hmmm, somehow, it is just a Filipino thing to do! :)
I tried some foods that I have not experienced before. Food is very regional in the Philippines, you see... like this Salmon Sisig -
Delicious... ate way too much as usual...
After dinner, we had an informal meeting to decide what the next venue is going to be for the next reunion... Some ideas thrown around: Rome, Los Angeles, California, Rome, somewhere in Canada, Rome... Hmmm, I wonder where...
Next room - some dancing... so off we went as soon as the dance floor opened.
Good times....
Marinela's family came and joined in while dancing continues...
Sarah, Rose, Delia and the rest of the girls rocked on...
