San Francisco, Part I
I can’t believe my trip is over half complete and this is my first time blogging. Things have been going great. The weather has been typical San Francisco summer: foggy in the morning, fog breaking around mid-day, fog rolling back in later in the afternoon. Temperatures have been almost the same day and night.
We arrived on Friday night and stayed with our friends, Ben and Sandy, in Fremont (which is closer to San Jose than San Francisco. Down there, Saturday and Sunday were sunny and hot (no fog). We did a bit of shopping, but most of our time was spend catching up (and eating).
On Sunday we headed to San Francisco, but not until after having lunch in Jack London Square in Oakland.
While in San Francisco, Randy has been working a bit more than he did last year so I’ve been pretty much exploring the city on my own during the day. On Monday we did manage to go to SFMoMa together (modern art museum). It’s the first time I’d been there since 1998. After that, I was on my own for the week. I purchased a weekly subway pass so I’ve been trying to make the most of it: Nob Hill, SoMa, Pacific Heights, Alta Plaza, Fillmore, Castro, West Portal, Haight-Ashbury, Corona Heights.
We check out of our hotel tomorrow and stay with our friend Roy (who we also stayed with Sunday night) before returning to Boston on the red eye on Saturday night (arriving Sunday morning). On the plus side, Randy’s work ends today at 4PM and we’ll have the next two days to explore things together. He’s mentioned wanting to go to Land’s End and/or the De Young Museum in Goldgen Gate Park. I’m game for both.
Anyway, things are going great. We have a spectacular 33rd floor view of the bay and San Francisco skyline from our room (even Coit Tower/Telegraph Hill if you look to the left). But it’ll still be nice to head home and have life return to normal (in our own bed, hanging with our normal friends).
Plus, the maid came while we were gone so our home should be immaculate to return to!
Oh, and though I’ve not posted photos from this trip yet, I did finally manage to update/edit all of the photos from recent trips (Roanoke, Munich, Grenoble, Lyon, Paris) in my photo galleries. I removed the duplicates and separated the albums into “international” and “national” (since the sites couldn’t accomodate “all” of my photos together). San Francisco photos should appear soon. I promise!
