On Monday my brother had a free day since his class didn't start until Tuesday, so I took the day off from work and went up to SF to hang out with him. After I picked him up from his hotel we went to the nearest Bart station and took Bart up to the Embarcadero exit. From there we walked over to the Ferry building and then down the street until we hit Pier 39. Once we got there we had a lunch which consisted of a dungeness crab and a bread bowl of clam chowder. After eating our lunch with tourists staring at us we walked back over to Pier 39 and checked out the aquarium there. It was actually much better than I expected. There was a large area downstairs where you could walk through and have the fish swim right over you. I definitely recommend it if you like aquariums. After that we walked around a little bit before we rented a small three wheeled vehicle which was pretty wimpy. My Vespa had a lot more power and we were trying to use this little 3 wheeled vehicle to go up some pretty large hills as we were driving around SF. It was pretty funny. After having our fill of a wimpy little three wheeled vehicle we turned it back and headed out of SF. Once we got back to the BART station I used the Yelp iPhone App to find El Farolito Taqueria which got pretty good reviews. I have to say I agree with the reviews. The food was good and the service was also good. After dinner I dropped my brother off at his hotel and headed home.
