San Francisco

I spent this past weekend with 12 girls in what I consider one of the most amazing and beautiful cities. 12 girls???? ...bachelorette party of course! I am a wanderer by nature AND I am also unable to sit still for any length of time (some might consider this borderline ADD). Soooo as much as I wanted to wait for the other girls to wake up each morning I found myself on my own exploring this great city. My wandering led me to phenomenal coffee shops, french bakeries and some of the most unique neighborhoods. I found myself exploring with Lina most afternoons, as it is utterly impossible to keep 12 girls together for an entire weekend. We talked to random strangers, wandered through the ghetto and projects, got drooled on by the homeless, met some of the nicest locals (yay Bill!!!) and laughed at my clumsiness...A LOT!! My sense of direction is terrible and without Lina I surely would have gotten on the wrong bus at least once (probably a lot more). Lina and I travel the same....we leave early and come back late. The house we rented merely a place to keep our suitcases. Each evening we met up with the rest of the girls and got ready for the night. Kinda made me miss having roommates for a minute...getting ready is a lot more fun with 11 other girls :) We went to some amazing restaurants, my favorite a tapas place that put Cafe Sevilla to shame....sorry, I love Cafe Sevilla, but it did. The last night we had a serious wine and cheese spread and had a little lingerie party for the bachelorette, Colleen....your welcome Bruce!!

The weekend left me with amazing memories, love for a wonderful city, and as always the yearning for more travel. Here are a few of the photos I took...

Randomness throughout the city
 

Lina....in the zone!
