Day 2: Shopping and Ball Game
Written by Liam Ottley
Posted Sun, 21 Jan: Today we got some time to go shopping and spend our American dollars. Andrew, Saia, Maihi and I rode into San Fransisco on a gigantic double deck train which was an odd experience for me. Once in the city it was a long walk to the Westfield mall in central San Fran where we began shopping. Lunch soon followed where we ate at 'Grilled Sub' which supplied us all with Subway like sandwiches filled with chicken, steak and other meats. Next came a further 4 hours of shopping in which Gabriel, Saia, Carym and I struggled to fill.

It was now game time, and we walked briskly (at first in the wrong direction), toward the AT&T Stadium 2) which is the home of San Fransisco Giants. We wrestled our way into the stadium and found our seats which put us very close to the oval and the players. Long story short after many ups and downs, when we left the Giants were up 4 and the crowd was electrified. Then came another walk to the train and another train ride home.

I found the baseball game amazing, as pretty much the entire crowd was Giants supporters and they brought the noise when something went their way. The stadium was enormous, which made the experience even more exciting.

It's 11:45pm now so I better get some sleep.

Catch you later,
Liam
