Now in San Francisco we have met up with James and Lisa,
friends from Honolulu who now live in Portland. We have been able to explore
the city and be tourists for a while.
Yesterday, we went to Dek Wat Muay Thai to train at our old
Coach’s gym (even though he couldn’t be there). The workout
was…challenging. Started out with the Muay Thai class. At first a little jump
rope and then straight into 100 burpees to start the class finishing the boxing class with (an attempted) 1000 punches on the bag in 3 minutes. When we finished our burpees all of us started to get some water, but were quickly admonished that if we
were already thirsty then we weren’t properly hydrated before class and there
were not going to be any water breaks until the class was over. Class was solid
and a really good workout after not boxing for a week or two. After Muay Thai
there was a boxing class. We should have realized something when everyone from
the first class left, but we stayed anyway… not sure my shoulders agree with
that decision, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.
After boxing we all headed down to mission district to get
burritos. One giant wet burrito later and we were ready to explore the town.
Down to fisherman’s wharf and little driving through the hills of SF. Which we
learned are not meant for a manual transmission. Some hills, one stall, a
ridiculous hunt for parking and we were able to hit the wharf, get some ice
cream at Ghirardelli, and see some sea lions. Light dinner and beers at
Telegraph Hill and that was enough for one day.
