Amazing.

The last two days have been a cuisine and cultural adventure through this great city.

As it turns out, the comedian And’s parents had tickets for was great. Will Durst-political comedian extraordinaire. Somehow, he got laughs out of everyone from the two of us below age 30 to the sixty people above age 50. Plus, it was refreshing to have an unbiased and actual, real yet hilarious review of the last few months of politics…because it has been kind of funny if you take a minute.

And lets get back to the cuisine. We had dinner at Dosa before the show and it. was. delish. A dosa is like an Indian crepe. Basically a pancake or crepe type breading filled with potato masala and sometimes other things. Or you could eat what I ate, which they made me sample before I actually ordered it. The Extreme Hot Habanero-Mango Dosa. It appears that they mix a habanero-mango paste with the dosa batter. I might have cried, but it was the tastiest dosa I have ever had..even compared to the one in London.

Plus, Andrea’s father called me “teeny weeny bladder,” like I’m part of the family or something. What a great night.

And Wednesday was a great day! We started with a lot of errands, namely getting Andreas teeth to the dentist (I chose to take mine to Ross- Dress For Less for a little shopping fiesta while I waited on her) and then going to the DMV to get Andrea a new license—to replace the missing one we lost somewhere in between Denver and her parents house. Then we went to the Mission District for Tacos! Or…quesadillas/burritos. Yum yum yum.

We spent the afternoon on bikes. Excellent.

We biked a lot of downhill and a lot of uphill and finally made it to the Golden Gate, which we rode across with great finesse before coasting down into Sausalito for some exploring. Sausalito is awesome..huge, beautiful houses right on on the water and tons of art galleries. We did some window browsing, enjoyed ice cream in the park and then cloud watched for another half hour before catching the ferry back to San Fran.

And the fog rolling in is great..

We biked back to Andrea’s house (more uphill) along the water, which was really nice. And then we were whisked away by her friend Justin (who works for Facebook) for an excellent dinner at Pacific Catch. We had sushi bowls. Sushi bowls are so yummy. And then we split maybe the largest piece of chocolate cake ever. Ever. Think Matilda…only the three of us still could barely attack it with honest vigor. Food coma.

And then bars! It was raining, but we braved the onslaught and took the bus down to Hayes St. to meet Reisel (from Bmore/BOMF!) at Place Pigalle. An excellent little bar with a super nice bartender and a huge selection of decently priced micro brews.

From there we headed back to Andrea’s neighborhood to stop in on one of her fave bars, Bar None. Lets just say it has a row of beer pong tables in the back (there is no way this is in health code) and we made some friends. :]

An all around success, I believe!

Now its back to CO for a few weeks. Half marathon training is beginning to pick up and I am hoping to actually get out on my bike more in the coming days. This weekend should be fun-filled as well, as I have Steph mostly convinced to hold a BBQ for the Cellar Dwellers on Sunday. Plus, my friend Rami (from BMore) is visiting for a brief two days on his epic Western adventure. Amber (the new roomy) is moving in sometime next week. And then-Austin in 21 days!

I’ll leave you with this little gem.

A late night find in the City by the Bay.

For now!
