on sunday, i spent the afternoon enjoying wonderful company and this cool san francisco neighborhood.
my freshman-year college roommate, shannon, was passing through san francisco on her way to a conference in boston [from her home in new zealand!], so she, vlada and i met up to do some exploring in san francisco. and to catch up, of course! shannon's high school friend kate, who also lives in the bay area, and vlada friend sean [now a friend of mark and mine as well!] who lives in the mission, also joined along on the adventure.
sean, vlada, kate and i - stuffed to the brim and walking off our super burritos. mine was a carne asada and pollo combination, with black bean and all the fixin's. mmmm, mmmm good.
these drawers in s.f.'s only pirate supply store, are filled with goodies from sea salt to eye patches
and the shop next door [wish i could remember its name] has a display of orchids next to coolest old wooden wheelchair.
stem, an uber-cute floral boutique, also sells gifts, housewares, candles, stationary.....
...and children's clothing and accessories.
freshman year roomies, enjoying aMAZEing icecream. shannon's tried the sam's sundae [chocolate ice cream, bergamot olive oil, maldon sea salt, and fresh whipped cream], and enjoyed its unique and intense flavors, and i loved my salted caramel and pumpkin combination.
[and on a side note, as we were outside enjoying these treats, we witnessed a crazy car accident....a car full of girls smashed into a parked car at a "T" intersection, and proceeded to jump out of the car, leave it sitting in the middle of traffic blocking 2 lanes, and RAN FROM THE SCENE! thankfully no one was hurt. crazy!]

Hey audrey! it's so cool to see pictures of the mission on your blog! I would argue that I haven't been able to find a burrito anywhere as good as those in the mission district! what fun! the church i grew up in is on Dolores and Dorland in that neighborhood, so i spent many, many hours in that neck of the woods! love you lots!
i love the market area of seattle. the houseboat restaurant i got to eat at in portland, right on the water. a comfy booth at ye olde union oyster house in boston. (notice a food theme?) morningside heights; 72nd & broadway (eating a hot dog from gray's papaya, walking along the street, eventually winding up at the rooftop of lincoln center); the staten island ferry (croissant and coffee in hand, watching the sun go down over the skyline); a corner table at the columbus bakery with my journal, new york. coming around the curve of lake shore drive with the skyline looming; the grafton; our neighborhood in chicago. my mother-in-law's front porch swing, looking at the sun sparkling on lake erie across the street. the roosevelt memorial in d.c. lucille's restaurant in fort collins, colorado. (anywhere in colorado, for that matter.) edinburgh, scotland. westminster abby's choir nave in london. barcelona & the countryside of spain. kelowna, british columbia.
I am still in shock about the girls that ran from the car crash scene, is that bizarre or what?
Ahh so many favorites in cities...the suburbs are boring :(
i'm thinking maybe that car was stolen...
