Living only a Bart ride away from SF, I don't actually make it to the city that often. That said, I've gone twice in two days, and went to Fisherman's Wharf, Ghiradelli Square, and Coit Tower all without the help of buses. We walked EVERYWHERE, from Powell to Bush/Mason to Fisherman's Wharf's In-N-Out to Ghiradelli Square back to Bush/Mason back to Powell. And then the following day, we started at Montgomery, walked through Little Italy to Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf, and walked along the water back to Embarcadero. It was a lot of walking and my feet hurt, but it was nice to be able to take in the sights without being cramped next to a stranger and without the frustrations of waiting for the (always-late) Muni.

came back from Saratoga, had lunch w/ a friend at Joshuya's (mmm rock-'n-roll: avocado, eel, cucumber in a sushi roll... AMAZING), picked up a friend from the airport and almost went to Hooter's in San Francisco (but instead, we opted for In-N-Out), devoured sundaes at Ghiradelli Square and strolled back to Powell

after eating a scrumptious breakfast at La Note, my friend from Cornell/Colorado/Saratoga/Portola Valley and I went yet again into the city with the intent of finding dim sum for lunch, but by the time we were hungry we had walked to the water and craved clam chowder instead. then we found the most marvelous museum of old coin-operated games, except that some of them weren't games. OLD-SCHOOL PORN where you put in a coin and it shows you images when you look down the lens. oh my goodness so funny. we wandered around the water and spent some time tasting in the Ferry Building, then we went back to Berkeley, bought books at the closing Barnes and Noble, had pearl milk tea, and ate dinner at Crepes-a-Go-Go with his friend from Cornell/Hong Kong/Thailand. then we looked at apartments with him (he's working in Oakland for the summer) and didn't get horrendously lost. luckily he REALLY liked the second apartment so he took it on the spot. it was super cool to meet a friend's friend, and it's always nice to see people I know interact with people.
Work starts MONDAY in Albany (YAY no 2 hour crazy commute!). I am super excited. It should be good.
