Day 51
Kendrick dropped us off at the Menlo Park CalTrain
stati
on around 10:15. We missed the train we planned to take by about 15 minutes, so we opted to take the 10:44 train, giving us enough time to grab some food before departing. Well, at 10:38 the train rolled in and we ran from the Seven-Eleven to catch it, making it just as the doors opened, then subsequently closed 5 seconds later and left us standing on the pad. Confused and pissed that nobody was allowed on the train, we awaited as the next train arrived a few minutes later.

Much better than the train in Indiana. We arrived in San Francisco at noon and got 
lunch at the Yuerba Buena Gardens before realizing the SFMOMA was closed, which did not impress Liv. We walked along the Embarcardero to Pier 39, got chocolate the Ghirardelli Square, and continued for a few more miles to the Palace of Fine Arts. The weather was clear but very windy and actually cold. Montreal was warmer 2 months ago.

Kendrick ended up picking us up in Sunnyvale without much inconvenience.
For dinner, we ate with Kendrick and Abby's friends Kat and Russel at a burger joint called Counter in San Jose. It was a build-your-own type of place and the dinner was excellent. Conveniently, we weren't charged for our brews or appetizers.
