I got up at 6:30 in the morning, it too early to get Union station but I thought it's better for me to go there early because a bus should be too crowded to bring my suitcase. As I expected, the bus was not crowded, so I could bring my suitcase easily.
After arriving Union station, I was waiting for the train with a cup of coffee. But the train was delayed, so I thought I was suppose to wait more. I suddenly hit an idea to check in my luggage earlier, and it would be easy for me to watch my luggage, so I went to a baggage counter. However, my offer wasn't accepted! why? it was too late. I had to check in at former time. Oh, no, but I didn't think I could carry all my luggage inside a car, otherwise I would bother other customers. So, I changed my ride to later one, and I checked in luggage. But, some minutes later, I saw a lot of people were bringing their big suitcases to a train! My worry was meaningless. And my new ride was a bus! No, I paid a lot of money to ride a train, see a nice ocean view! Oh, no, shoot.
Ironically, the bus drove on highway, no ocean, just mountains and land. But they were also nice, no, interesting for me because like every 5 minutes, different kinds of mountains appeared, different colors, shapes, and heights. And land, almost horizen. I wondered why I can't see any mountain or high thing which seemed to exist over the land. Because of the shape of the earth? or fog? Scientifically, it may be obvious, but I still wonder about it for a while. Finally, the bus arrived the next stop, and I transfered to a train, it's still not ocean view though, rather worse!
After transfering a bus, I finally arrived in San Francisco. I guessed the best point to get off, and tried to walk to the hostel. But, I'd forgot an important thing of this place, slope! So~~~~steep, I'd almost given up and would have taken a taxi, but I didn't do because of my stupid pride, ah, stupid. I got sweat, and sore muscle.
After missing the way many times, I finally found out the hostel. A receptionist was kind, but a room...narrow. I expected larger because the room was for 2 people, must be comfortable! but it was rather worse than the hostel in Santa Monica. In addition, the hostel was at the middle of a busy street, so very noisy. Oh, annoying. But they served free breakfast and internet, it's good.
