if i were taller i would have a pied-à-terre in san francisco. sf is gnarly. it has two distinct vibes, beach and bay, and an abundance of amazing neighbourhoods. the weather can be a bummer, but year round, you can just hop into your fuel efficient car and cruise 20 minutes down the coast to beaches and sunshine and surfer babes. you can also drive to vineyards and wine tasting rooms. i loved wine and labels at bonny doon (https://www.bonnydoonvineyard.com/) the most (thank you jared). sf is home to some of my favorite places on earth- the haight, city lights books and the japanese tea garden in golden gate park. sf is also home to my friend jason. j and i met when we were about 15 and bonded over our love of phish, franny's, jack and jill. the sf beat really suits him. jason is a great person to know because he is the king of good food. he took john and me to one of the most delicious and cozy restaurants ever called the front porch (http://thefrontporchsf.com/main.html). john and jason both had fried chicken. i had the vegan plate- all local organic stuff- which was good but didn't blow my mind. the grits, however, did blow my mind and are now on the list of food i dream about. a list that includes the beauty's special from beauty's in montreal (http://www.beautys.ca/) and the black bean and avocado burrito that you can only get at the take out window of cafe habana in manhattan (http://www.ecoeatery.com/).
moral of the story:i heart sf. best song to listen to while driving up and down the coast: carey by joni mitchell (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFGrRSVW8jk)
The one of the van on the bridge is the best photo ever
