The Magic Bus

Day 2 - Saturday
Hi!
when I finally got to bed Friday evening, I fell a sleep so quickly because I was so tired! But I woke up a couple of times - I don't know why...
The breakfast at The Adelaide Hostel was better than I expected. You could choose between a lot of different kinds of bagels and you could choose peanutbutter, nutella, jam, butter and Philedelphia (creamcheese) to put on top on your bagel. There was oat meal with cinnamon, raisens and apples. It tasted so great! Better than oat meal in Denmark if you ask me!

After breakfast a man called Macmood came to the hostel, where he was gong to held a lecture for us.
He talked about the American history, the language, the American culture, to be an immigrant like himself (he is an immigrant from Egypt) and education. I think it was interesting to listen to, and he was really friendly. After the lecture, we walked down to Union Square, where we took The Magic Bus for a ride. It was really funny bus painted in a lot of colores, and the tour guide was dresset out as a hippie from the 60's. She called us her 'tribe' and talked a lot about love, inner spirit and harmoni. 
The purpose with this tour was to take us back in time to the 50's and 60's, where the Beat Generation and the hippies had their birth. We came through China Town, Haight Asbury, Lower Asbury, Market Street, Golden Gate Parc etc. It was an interesting and beautiful tour - and funny as well. 

After the tour, we had some hours for shopping. I bought some clothes and a pair of Nike shoes! :D - There were a lot of great shops! In the evening most of us went to a steakhouse. We had to wait to get our table and food. When we finally got our steaks, we were all so tired that we did not have to enjoy the food properly... The prices were a bit expensive, and we All had to pay 15$ each for tax and service!! But the food was good though. 

I'm looking forward to Alcatraz tomorrow!
Bye for now!
