I spent this past weekend back in my city by the bay, San Francisco. It felt so amazing to be home – clean air, the smell of blackberry bushes and eucalyptus gum trees, with a favorite walk through my hood. I miss this city so much it was hard to leave to come back to Brooklyn. While I am happy to be home again (with my dog), I think it’s pretty safe to say that both B and I are San Franciscans (or Australian-San Franciscans) through and through. B had been there for a couple weeks already for an Automattic meetup, so he had plenty of time to enjoy the city and time with friends. I flew out directly after school on Thursday afternoon to meet him. The kids were so cute, they took one look at my carry-on and asked to come with!
I didn’t spend too much time with my camera out — instead, I opted to just keep my eyes out. Here are a few snaps from the weekend:
1) Friend/B’s fellow Automattician Rose’s wedding in Kenwood, CA, the excuse reason for the quick trip out west. I borrowed this Nanette Lepore dress from my sister. I figured if she looked fantastic in it, so would I.
2) A stroll through the north east corner of SF, with seagulls to keep me company.
3) A Taqueria Cancun stop. OF COURSE! NYC just can’t get the mission burrito right.
4) A walk through my hood and the neighboring hood, with a stop at the rope swing on Billy Goat Hill.
5) A stop at Tartine with my favorite girls, Marisa and her 2 little munchkins.
I’ll probably be back sometime in February for the NYC DOE’s mid-winter break. In the meantime, I’ll have other SF blogs to keep me happy, such as Past The Mission and The Local Transplant.
