San Francisco: Day One

[mik3cap]

It was an easy flight from JFK to SFO - I love that I can cross the entire country in about 11 hours without ever needing a car; it was just walking from my apartment in Williamsburg to an apartment in San Francisco, and public transport between airports. My hands got kind of swollen from the air pressure on the plane though, that was kind of annoying.

I puttered around the civic center for a little while this afternoon, then took a nap at the apartment near Alamo Square. Rhette and I then met up for dinner and conversation in Berkeley, and we ate at a tasty Himalayan joint in the "gourmet ghetto" section of town. We then drove up to her campus at UCB, checked out Lawrence Berkeley Labs from afar, then appreciated the view of the city at night from up on the mountain. She wants to take me out to Napa this weekend and wine and dine me at the Culinary Institute of America. How can I say no to that??

I'm totally sleeping in tomorrow. I love not having to think about anything or worry about work or feeding the cat. These next few days will be nice and casual. Also... MUST GET CUPCAKES. That may be part of my plan tomorrow after I wake up, depending on the rain situation.

I'm going to set up a link for WWDC liveblogging as well, stay tuned for that.
