San Fran, At Last!
Filed Under San Francisco 2009
This week could not have gone any slower. To be fair, time at the office flew by, but when I got home I would say, “Ugh, it’s only Tuesday?” or “How can it only be Wednesday?” But Friday afternoon came and I was finally on my direct flight to San Francisco! This is my first visit to the Bay Area, and how I came about to making this trip is quite unusual.
My first-year college roommate, Erin, lives in San Fran and she has always prodded me to come out for a visit. In February, she got engaged and then turned right around and made a proposal of her own to me. She wondered if I would like to come out and take her engagement photos in return for a plane ticket. Well, heck yes, I would love that! So three months later, I’m finally there!
I got in to SFO around 8:45 p.m. PDT and found my way to the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) station. Forty-five minutes later I got off at the Powell station and was greeted by Erin. We talked during our 20-minute walk back to her fourth-floor apartment which is located in Pacific Heights and conveniently across the street from a Whole Foods. I think we stayed up until 11:30pm talking until my body, still on Central time at 1:30 a.m., was ready for bed.
Erin’s got a very nice apartment. I slept on her couch, but my what a comfy one it is! Traffic is pretty loud on the street below, so I had to adjust by putting a pillow over my ear.
