trip.

it was a good trip. :]
we met up with andrew on friday night for some thai food in north beach. it was really yummy actually. andrew and i had a good time catching up and whatnot. then we walked around the city and went to this place called vesuvio. it's a pretty famous old bar-hang out type place of beatnik poets. [that explains the funny sign.] jack kerouac and all the other famous beatniks used to go there. ha. james thought it was interesting too. it reminded him of a german style pub.

what else?
we ate at cheesecake factory of course. :] unfortunately, it was pretty foggy on saturday, which created this misty rain situation. so it was hard to take photos. my lens kept getting all spotted with water. so it was a bummer. we kind of gave up after a bit and just shopped around for a while. i only bought one shirt though. and one camera. ha. see the lomography link over on the side bar? yeah. i bought one of those fun cameras. i don't know when i'll have time to play with it, but i'm looking forward to the day.

that night, james really wanted to eat korean bbq. so we found a place and i think he liked it pretty well. i just got pot stickers because i wasn't feeling adventerous. i can't handle spicy food at all, and in my experience korean food is pretty spicy. even when i ask james if something is spicy and he says "not at all..." it's still spicy to me. so yeah. the pot stickers were good. :] we had taken a cab to get there, but i kind of wanted to walk back, so we did and we came across this beautiful cathedral. it was so pretty all lit up for the night.

today, we woke up a little earlier to start the day. we ate breakfast and then hung out in the room until checkout at noon. then we thought we would go to the park or something. well we ended up driving around in circles so that james could take photos for his final project from the car. it was kind of funny. then we found this free parking space... a total find in the city... right by all the main city buildings, like the library and the court house. so we parked and i took some photos for my final project. i didn't even think to take any with my digital camera. actually. i only took 54 photos on my digital the whole trip. that is like an all-time low for me. [i think i took around 1,000 in just one day in new york city. ha.] after that we headed to the haight. it was actually my first time really walking around that district. james and i both really liked it. [i usually intend to go there, but can never find a parking space, so i just give up.] well we ate lunch there at this amazing little place. askew i think it was called. they had all kinds of skewered meats and i got ribs. yum yum yum. i also had to get some ben and jerry's before we left.

finally, we stopped off at twin peaks. the view is amazing from up there, but it was really foggy and windy today. [note my out of control hair from the wind.] kind of sad. on a clear night though... it's amazing. so pretty. we'll have to go back up there again when the conditions are a bit better.

so yeah. it was a good little trip. i really need to spend a whole week there one of these times. i always leave thinking... too bad there wasn't enough time to do ______. so maybe in a week i could get more done.

i am not ready to go back to school in the morning. man. this break has been so nice. i didn't get to scrapbook nearly enough. i'm sad about that. but i did get to relax a fair amount, so i can't complain too much.
