Story

From the Exploratorium, we then walked over to Pier 39 with our suitcase in tow. We looked for a souvenir magnet and then found one that was exactly the same as the one we already have and remembered that we had one for Pier 39 already. We had soup in a bread bowl for dinner and went to see the street performers, but we were a bit disappointed that there weren't any. We then caught an Uber back to the airport and got checked in.
