Chinatown

On Monday one of dad's friends from High School was in town, so we got to go into the city to hang out with him! I've never met him before, but Sissy Sabrina says he is a very nice guy and she was right.

We ended up walking to Chinatown and going on a walking-tour of the area. One of the earliest stops we made was at a kite shop. We walked in and there was a CAT! It was just sitting in the shop staring me down. Mom advanced a few steps and the cat stared us down some more. I was doing a good job ignoring the cat, but mom didn't feel safe so we waited outside the shop. We were standing there minding our own business when some people came by to pet me. They talked with us and told mom how impressively I was behaving with the cat. Mom said "what?!" and looked around. The cat had come out of the store and was sitting right behind mom's legs, peering up at me! Mom was so proud of me that I hadn't reacted at all.

Next we went around to lots of shops and a temple and a church. They were all welcoming of me and a lot of fun to see.

Once we were done with Chinatown, we headed down to the Ferry building and then walked along the Embarcadero. Mom started getting really tired and her joints were hurting a lot so we took a streetcar back to dad's friend's hotel, and then rode the BART home. Boy what an exhausting day!
