San Francisco

We have landed in Seattle! A long journey it has been...and it has yet to come to a close. We've been very busy looking for jobs/apartments (but also trying out our first coffee shop and exploring the Fremont area and going on epic hikes along the cliffside overlooking the sound...nbd. I love Seattle from what I've seen) so we are still far from settled.

But let's backtrack a bit and try to catch up.
SAN FRANCISCO seems so long ago already. We had a lovely time! We stayed just outside of the city, actually, in Menlo Park with my friend Anna. Reunions abound!!! We also met up with Lindsay, Rachael and Vanessa for a Clark retour 2011. Then we met up with my friend from high school, Lauren. All kinds of awesome people living in SF these days and it was awesome to see you all.

The video that we took was kind of cruddy...at least the one from my camera. I'm debating whether or not to put it up anyway. Maybe Rachael has a better one? Okay. No. Here it is. Rachael, if you have a better one, you should put it up instead etc...

Day one we went on a small tour of SF on our own. Checked out the Fisherman's Wharf, which was a tourist shitshow. Got some clam chowdah bread bowls...totes worth it.

oh hi, azkaban...i mean alcatraz

Then we ended up in a bar in the Castro called "Moby Dick". Just sayin. Also I really liked it as a tip o' the hat to my English Capstone class...lots of whale flashbacks going through my head the entire time we were there. That night is when we had some Clark-style burritos/nachos/etc. Great stuff.

Next day, Anna took us on a tour of Mountain View and the Google-plex-dom campus. EPIC. They have these little Google bikes that the employees ride around on between the buildings, spread out across a million mile expanse (obv not really.)

We all went back into the city and explored some more. Got some epic driving views from the hills. Some really gorgeous cloud action was going on up there...we got a video of that too. Maybe another time and place.

We love the rolling clouds of SF. Eliza the car makes a guest appearance.

After a sharp day wandering in the city and some yummy Chinese food, we went back to Menlo Park for our final night in the Bay Area. And after a short but sweet Italian coffee meetup in Little Italy with some lovely friends, it was time for us to continue on our way up north...

(Look, I even wrote stuff this time!)
