Quick recap... up to the brunch

I'll try to write about what we did during our days in USA.

We arrived Monday night and we only rode a cab to our hotel and went out for a sandwich. We woke up pretty early Tuesday and walk toward the city center. We found an Internet Cafe and logged on to check it out. We found all the shopping that was downtown and after lunch we headed back to our hotel for some rest before we went back. This time we watched a movie, Shrek the Third.
Wednesday we started out by walking towards Fishermans Wharf and walked by the shoreline for a while. We turned in towards Coit Tower which we climbed and took many pictures. Walking back towards our hotel we discovered that it was just a short walk. After that we took the BART over to Oakland to met up with Andy to get our tickets for the Giants game.
Thursday we walked downtown again before the bachelor/-ett party. It was kind of hard to find the place since our directions where not the best, but we found the place and it was nice to see everyone again. We started out on sailing in the bay. It was really cool to see the city from that point of view. The night turned out as expected with a few beers and a lot of fun. Friday we laid back at the hotel until lunch and the we headed out into the city. We walked to the rehearsal dinner which was at Fishermans Wharf and stopped for some pictures at the most crocked street in the world. It was nice to see some of the people from my year as exchange student. Stina and I took the cable car home that night since we couldn't find a cab.
Saturday the Shannons picked us up to go to the wedding site. We rode across the Golden Gate Bridge and then turned of the freeway to go through a tunnel and then we kind of ended up in an old military base. The wedding was really nice, even though it was outside and freezing. The reception was in a building next to the ceremony. After dinner there was square dancing, at which Stina was really good. The party continued on at the hostel where most of the young people stayed in. There was even a game of beer pong going on.
Sunday was the day for brunch at Jessica's parents house in Walnut Creek. We went there with the Shannons and on this side of the bay and hills it was really hot. Not at all like in the city. We rode back into the city with Andy's aunt and played a game of car-ABC, since it was a lot of traffic going over the Oakland Bay Bridge.
