a rehashing of SFO (get it?)* »

First, let me address the absurd stereotypes I brought up last week. Gold nuggets are surprisingly hard to come by, land sharks are oddly docile and I forgot to mention Facebook. (The rest are dead on.)
On with it. The city is gorgeous, weather while we were there was stunning and we packed in a ton of stuff. So you don’t get bored, go to the usual place and view the snaps. For the rest of you, here’s a quick breakdown:
- California Academy of Sciences
- Napa Valley (including Peju and other mediocre tastings)
- Golden Gate Bridge
- Piers, a ton of them (What’s with all the coastal towns and all the piers? right?)
- Medjool, Little Baobab, Double Dutch, Oyagi, etc.
- Cable Cars
- Haight Street Festival
- de Young Art Museum
- Baker Beach
It was great fun and a nice reprieve from the day-to-day stress of… well… sitting around trying to find something to do? Thanks to Leah, our host, who doesn’t read this.
The highlight, for me, was attending a Facebook-sponsored event. Just don’t get that sort of stuff around here. Next stop, North Carolina? NYC? Poverty? Stay tuned for all the dicey details.
* If you didn’t get it, not to worry. This is quite possibly the most ambiguous and pathetic attempt at a marijuana reference ever recorded on the interweb. Still, no apologies.
