My unintentional hike

So at 3PM Friday I had an appointment to go see an oral surgeon referred by my regular dentist to pull out a wisdom tooth whose time had come. The address I was trying to get to was something California Ave in San Francisco. So I Google mapped it and decided to BART. HAH!

I landed at Montgomery street BART - the city was brilliant and sunny. The Google map showed a few blocks on California from Montgomery - no sweat. I was even a half hour early for my 3PM appointment. So I turned on California and noticed the addresses were 300-something hah, I was trying to get ot 3500-something. O-oh. So Google maps was wrong, clearly. I was trying to get to the corner of Spruce and California. I asked a cab driver and he said "couple of miles". So I figured I have time and let me hike it - its a beautiful day. What I didn't take into account is the UPHILLS of San Francisco - haha. Up towards Mason I will breathing from every orafesus on my body. An hour later, I made my way to my destination half hour late. I must have hiked about 40 blocks. The good news is that taking the wisdom tooth out was a breeze!
