!Viajamos!

As it turns out, boyfriend and I have been a little lame on the travel plans as of late. We waited too long to purchase our plane tickets to Alaska, and they now cost over $1700 for a pair of round trip tickets. This month, rather than travel elsewhere we decided to make the best of our misfortune and ‘travel’ our own city. (I told him this and he said it was called a staycation. I don’t know if I like that word.)

Despite the fact that Boyfriend grew up literally down the street from where we currently live (5 blocks), and I grew up about 30 min north, neither of us have spent much time here since we have been 21 – or 18 for that matter because we went away to college. I used to be cool and come into “the city” in high school, but I have found being a little bit older has its advantages in my city adventures, an not just at the bars. Shop owners follow me around far less frequently to check if I’m shoplifting, I can sample all I want and the store owners rarely get mad, and I get asked to leave and come back with a parent or guardian very infrequently.

So what is on the agenda? This week we will be going to:

Apparently all of the SF Food Carts are convening at an event at 7th and Mission today (Wednesday). I love food carts!

The California Academy of Sciences (formerly the Steinhart Aquarium) Thursday Nightlife event featuring DJs Alexander Frederick and Eli Glad and the SF Neighborhood Fashion Contest with 7x7 Magazine.

Friday we will be hitting up the pie lady at 17th and Folsom (I think those are the cross streets) and going out dancing in our own neck of the woods, the Mission.

Saturday boyfriend has to work, so I will be taking a break from our explorations to return to the Farmette and help Mom with the harvest.

But we will return to the call of the wild city on Sunday to attend the Giants game at SBC/PacBell/AT&T or whatever it calls itself these days Park. After all as that guy that Boyfriend is friends with says “The Giants are playing relevant baseball. Incredible!”
