California

I was in San Francisco last week. I was kicking myself every day for not bringing a camera, or at least having a phone that took decent photos. Alas, I have no images to document my trip.

The trip involved a lot of working, eating out at amazing seafood and Thai restaurants, and a visit to a speakeasy-ish bar in Nob Hill. I stayed at the Sir Francis Drake hotel near Union Square and I actually wish that I had had more time to spend in my hotel room! It was tiny, but very well decorated and cozy, with a nice tv, wireless internet, and a well-stocked mini-bar. Probably my favorite part of the trip, though, was walking to work every morning and picking up a latte at Peet's Coffee. There are no bike path coffee shops in Boulder... even when I drive to work it's a hassle to stop for coffee. Which I guess is saving me about $4 every day, but it is such a nice way to start the day!

Now I'm back home, where we continue to get rain every afternoon. I haven't watered my garden in about a month, and my plants seem to be thriving. I think we'll be able to eat some spinach and lettuce pretty soon!
