The Castro Theater

Day 6

Today, we slept in quite late. Then we spent time in Japan Town before catching a bus back to the castro. Then we saw a double feature of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea and Clash of the Titans.

I don't have many pictures, just a few of the garden outside our hotel and a few of the theater.

So the two movies were interesting. They were from 1954 and 1981. The theater was cool, although I'm not sure if it's as amazing as they say. I've heard that its worth seeing any movie you can just to go in the theater. I don't think this is true, there are plenty of other old and fancy places you can go for less than the $20 it took us to get in. Still, I liked watching the old movies, something I certainly wouldn't have done otherwise.

Farmer's Market and The Castro

Day 5

sunny

So today we spent the morning at the Farmer's Market at the Ferry Building. It was really cool! Bought a few things. Then mother and I went down to the Castro District, one of the biggest gay hubs in the country!!

So I found this amazingly wonderful lolita shop... everything was so beautiful! Of course, everything was insanely expensive (hundreds of dollars) and I wasn't allowed to take pictures! Still, I got a picture of a dress in the shop window. And I found a girl who was randomly wearing a very lolita outfit (although far too pink for my tastes). Take a look!
