SAN FRANCISCO!!!

I have been here for little over a month (2 days over, to be exact), and am loving it! My best friend and her husband live across the bay, and it's been so good to be so close! The first week I was here we even got to a Giants' game! Our old friend Tom even got a small break from law school to enjoy some garlic fries and hot dogs with us.

 Can you believe this view? Crazy!

Tom, Pegah and me after the game. I was new from Phoenix and of course got a little chilly...

My second weekend here, Pegah and I drove down to San Jose, where Pegah's husband's old neighbors threw her a party. A little complicated, but it was very sweet. We both forgot cameras so the few pictures I got were from my Blackberry (Torch). Which is my new awesome phone and very handy, if you're in the market for one.

This was a delish double-layered Red Velvet cake. To celebrate, Aunty Stacy had two pieces. :)

The place I live at is incredible - in the Marina district, a block from a Safeway (which, apparently is known as a meeting place for younger single people - most people call it Dateway around here) and a Starbucks, and down the street from some great places to eat. And close to the GG bridge! We had a week of 70-80 degree weather and this was my run route:

Exhausting run isn't it? Yeah, I walked a lot too. Oh and how much does this remind you of Vertigo? If you have not seen it, you are not a true Hitchcock fan, nay, American. You will see all of the San Francisco Bay Area in that movie. 

This last weekend was Fleet Week and my neighbor (from AZ) Donna had a 20-hour layover (she's a flight attendant) so we hung out and saw the sights.

 The Blue Angels performed, I still have a neck strain from trying to find out where they were coming from/going to. Be happy my phone doesn't record sounds - at the end of this video, that plane comes out of nowhere and there was some legitimate screaming involved. Mostly from me.

Yay, Miss Donna! She's watching my place for me while I'm away. Isn't that sweet?

Donna went with me to a few great places. Mostly food places. Ok, ALL food places.

My favorites were:

Susie Cakes - Best cupcake imaginable. And I hate that it's right around the corner from me. https://store.susiecakes.com/

For dinner, we went to Paxti's - I tried it before with Pegah and Dave because it was featured on Check Please! Bay Area. It's a show on PBS that showcases the locals' favorite restaurants. I have now become addicted to the show as well and have a list of places I want to try. Especially when people come to town to visit. When Pegah, Dave and I went out, we got the deep stuffed pizza - Ah-MAZING! When Donna and I went we were going for speed - I had to get her back to her hotel so she could rest up before her 5AM flight. We got the thin crust, but it wasn't as good. Isn't it sad that I put more detail into what I'm eating than what I'm doing out here? You would too, friend. Trust me.

So that's pretty much all I got so far. Oh! And I like my job. Haha, but that's not why I'm out here is it? :) Take care and I will post as soon as I have internet again!
