The night before I called the trip organizer, Jeff, saying that I'd like to join this trip to San Francisco for international students. To my delight, I could still come along with them. But, the problem was I needed to get to Davis Amtrack station before 8 a.m. and there were no bus in the early morning. Given the distance from my place to the station, I decided to take a taxi there. I'd taken note of the phone number to call for a taxi and thought I would do just that in the morning.
That morning, I got up at 7:30, a lot later than I should have. Going quickly through my morning routine, I called the taxi but it would take 10 minutes for it to come and another 20 minutes to reach the station. In consideration of the time I had, I chose to run instead. And about halfway to the destination, I called Jeff as it was 5 minutes to 8 and I was afraid I couldn't make it. Thank goodness!! They were actually leaving at 8:30, which meant I still had some time. Eventually, I barely made it there, and as soon as I arrived, I got on the bus as Jeff's bought a ticket for me.
On the train, I sat at table along with Sarah, Hide, and a co-organizer. We talked about pretty much everything. Looking out through the window, I took in some pretty spectacles as shown bellow.
After the feast for the eyes, we officially set foot in SF!!!!
