SF

here we are in lovely san francisco, and i have a cold. agh.

we're staying at the grant hotel, which is a nice homey sort of place. it's perfect for us, because i hate fancy hotels. the only drawback is that the bed is somewhat lumpy. other than that, the staff is very nice, and the room is cozy, and it's in a fantastic location.

we knocked out all the museums we wanted to see in the first two days, and now we're on to playing. we've hit most of the major neighborhoods for sightseeing: union square/downtown/nob hill (where we're staying), chinatown, fisherman's wharf, the embarcadero, golden gate park, SoMa, and today we're going to the castro! as you can imagine, i'm very excited about that.

i could imagine living here. for one thing, i'd never need to walk on a treadmill again. we're going to have buns of steel by the time we get home. also, the weather is perfect. it's been in the seventies here, with no humidity.

more later!
