Musings on SF

Hello there! I have no way to upload photos to the web right now, but I do have a mini trip report. Today I enjoyed:

• a delicious latte at Delessio
  
• a lovely soup and salad at Scala's
  
• a big cup of tea from the Border's cafe to keep me warm in the rain
• Hainan chicken rice at Hong Kong Bistro in Mountainview
• Gruet Blanc de Noirs bubbly from Bevmo--$14 and oh so tasty!
  
• a chocolate cupcake from Whole Foods

I saw half a dozen units today, and have one that I really like and one that I sort of like. Tomorrow, the hunt continues! For now, here are some things about SF that I just don't experience in LA:

• strangers offering to share food (in a totally none creepy way. The guy behind me at the bakery asked if I'd want to split a pastry because they were monster-sized. I declined, but it was really nice of him).
• being told I'm a pretty lady while walking down the street--whether by vagrants or otherwise.
• not feeling like an outcast when I walk down the street.
  
• walking 6 miles in one day and not feeling like it was out of the ordinary.
• having access to a bakery every other block.
• the 2pm cocktail--because guess what, I didn't have to drive!
• a real sense of community wherever I go: ads about zipcar and citywide composting programs, a lot more events in the local free papers, etc.

Anyway, it's great to be back. I can't wait to move up!
