I'm here.
Hey Everybody!
I've been in San Francisco for a couple of days. I arrived on Monday at 10:30pm (1:30pm Eastern Time), and I took a cab to the Airport (South San Francisco, the cabbie told me) Comfort Suites. Yesterday, I woke up, checked out, and traveled to the Comfort Inn by the Bay (My dad got me a room there for the night so I wouldn't have to lug my luggage around all day). I walked around Fisherman's Wharf, ate at a nice little place called Alioto's, and then decided to walk to my apartment. I'd gotten about four miles down the road when I discovered that I didn't have my check book, and that the time to meet my landlord was swiftly coming upon me. I hopped on a bus and went back to my hotel, got my checkbook, and back to 1714 A Cabrillo Street, San Francisco, California 94121 to get my apartment for the month. I moved in this morning. So I'm totally moved in now, and settling down into San Francisco for a month. I've added a couple of things to the list of things Chris Berg told me I needed to see or do. This is the list of things I've seen or done so far:
Seen:
Golden Gate Bridge
Bay Bridge
Fisherman's Wharf
bum who jumps out of the bushes
the aquatic park
Alcatraz
Ghirardelli Square
Telegraph Hill
Coit Tower
the pyramid building
more difference in ethnic groups than i've ever seen
a trolley
i still need to ride a trolley and visit alcatraz and eat riceroni - i bought some of that, though.
I'll update this again soon. Unfortunately, it seems most of my writing that I'll do here won't see the internet until I return, but rest assured, I'm writing.
Talk to you all soon.
