Until We Meet Again

We were just marveling at how fast a month can fly as we were watching from above as the San Francisco faded into the distance

Highlights of September and October include

• Chez Panisse

• Walking the bridge with Isa

• Marin farmers market

• Touring of neighborhood: Castro, Chinatown, Mission

• Napa: Chandon & Historic theatre

• Our view from our apartment at 752 Francisco

• Harbour ferries

What surprised us:

• Juxtaposition of a booming city with empty buildings – both commercial and residential
• Walking so much with my wife
• How steep Filbert is
• Smell of weed everywhere and so much smoke
• How beautiful September is
• How many festivals SF has – every weekend there were 2 or 3 activities
• People walk around naked at festivals
• How good Waymo tech is
• How precise the subways are
• Gorgeous architecture everywhere
• How concerned local San Franciscans are with how their city is being depicted outside of SF (SF is doing so much better than where it was a few years ago, so many locals are frustrated with how their city is being portrayed)
• Pervasiveness and easy access to wine/alcohol and smoking in places which is radically different from MA

What are we looking forward to when we return

• Celebrating the holidays with everyone together
• More ferry trips
• A cable car ride with the kids
• More amazing SF food from all over the world made with fresh ingredients

And the beauty of life is that when you leave a wonderful place, a new adventure and beauty awaits: check out the view from our arrival into Boston
