day ten

Time to head home!

We started off with a drive into San Francisco. As we were getting ready to cross the Bay Bridge, we got stopped at a toll plaza, where the guy behind us tapped the rental car! Ryan told him to pull off at the next exit past the toll plaza for us to get his information, but the first exit was on the left hand side, and the guy was driving a pretty nondescript dark car. Fortunately he was able to follow our car (being bright red and a convertible), and he happened to be a nice enough guy that he really did follow us to the exit we turned off at (the first one on the right) and gave us his information. The car looked okay, just a small indentation in the plastic of the bumper, but we didn’t want to take any chances.
We headed into Chinatown to pick up a wok at the WOK SHOP. They didn’t open until 10 (like everyone else in California it seems), so we checked at a couple of trade shops that had opened early. The woks there were fairly disappointing, so we waited around at the WOK SHOP until they opened… and man was it worth it! We picked up a cast iron wok, made all in metal and all in one piece (including the handles) for $15! The owner was fabulous as is our new piece of cookware, and if anyone is ever looking for a wok, we will definitely recommend them.
After Chinatown, we zipped off to the airport, and it was time to fly home.
