We arrived in San Francisco last Thursday, February 8th to meet Ari's parents for a mini-vacation. The flights were okay: in the first we had an extra seat to spread out but the second longer one from Minneapolis to San Fran was packed. I have never felt more like a sardine. I was delighted to land and stretch out my legs. We then traveled on to our hotel... The Hotel California (ha!). It is a quaint hotel with a retro feel and just two blocks off union square where the major shopping district is located. Ari's parents had been held up by an accident on the way down from Oregon so we sat in the lobby and enjoyed the complimentary wine cocktail hour. Finally, they arrived and got settled in their room. We sat around and caught up and then made our way for a late dinner at AsiaSF.Asia SF is restaurant known for its transgender wait staff that put on lip sync shows every hour on the bar top. I figured since we were in San Francisco, we might as well soak in the culture. I started out with a pomegranate mojito and sat back to enjoy the show. Honestly, if you had seen half of the staff on the street you would have sworn they were women! The lipsyncing was a riot. They performed both current popular music by Beyonce and also other older songs, "All by Myself." Skip, the owner, probably entertained us the most with his wild views on drugs... as adults we should be able to pick our drug of choice and go with it! Finally, stuffed to the gills with food we retired for the night.
