Dolce Amore = Sweet Love

     Waking up at 9:00am, we expected this morning to go smoothly...but with us that's never the case, we immediately ran into problems. We reviewed our card transactions expecting no issues, Lucy noticed an unauthorized transaction for.... Christian Mingle. She called her bank and immediately had her card closed out, the operator mentioned that it was ironic that out of all the fraudulent possibilities, a christian stole her card. Her card being her only form of payment, we had to go out of our way in order to withdraw all of her money. 
     After this delay in plans, we headed to brunch at Dolce Amore. We were immediately enticed by all the delicious menu options (crepes, pastries, gelato, macaroons etc...). We licked our plates clean and caught an uber to the Palace of Fine Arts. 
     With amazing European architecture, the Palace of Fine Arts was crawling with photo opps and plenty of wildlife, ponds, and tourists. Being irritated with the complicated bus systems we caught another uber back to the hotel. Exhausted from today's escapades we rested for a bit and then tried the bus thing again, this time to the Heart of the City Farmer's Market. 
     Missing our bus stop we walked four blocks and witnessed an arrest for theft on our way back to the Farmer's Market. Getting there 20 minutes before closing all vendors were already packing up and we missed our only chance. We caught another bus back and luckily this time we knew where our stop was. After browsing around for a bit in Neiman Marcus Last Call, Marshall's, and Forever XXI, we headed to Pier 39 for dinner and ordered burgers and dessert at the Hard Rock Cafe. 
   Next up was the laser challenge. We opted instead for the zombie apocalypse virtual shooting experience and even stayed after for another virtual monster theatre shooting game. At ten o'clock we caught an uber back to our hotel where we winded down and reminisced on our eventful day.
