San Francisco
I was in San Francisco for 5 days last week. The trip was part pleasure, part business: the main international partner of the agency where I work is a foundation located in San Francisco, so we arranged a meeting. It was very nice to finally talk face to face with someone I've sent emails to for the past year and a half.
Other than that I walked so, so much, every night when I got back to the hotel my feet hurt. But it was worth it, I saw everything I had planned to see (minus Alcatraz, but I really didn't have time). I would like to thank![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
holsbells99 for the suggestions, especially for suggesting visiting Sausalito and taking the ferry back to SF. Sausalito is a lovely little town with a lot of nice shops where I bought a bunch of presents for my mum and my friends, plus a little something for me as well:
As soon as I saw it I was all "OMG I want this! >_<", but then I thought I would never use it and it would be a waste of money. And then I realised that it was pretty much the same size of a little purse I actually use and that is quite old and worn out, so I bought it. \o/
I also managed to almost get a sunburnt, even if the sky was always partially overcast. I didn't bring sunscreen because I thought I wouldn't need it and now I have a ridiculous tan line on the bridge of my nose from my glasses. *facepalm*
What else? I ate a delicious okonomiyaki at the Japan Centre and a divine pizza with heirloom tomatoes, mozzarella di bufala and pesto at Rose Pistola (North Beach), I took a ton of pictures and even saw San Andreas Fault from the plane on the way back!
And I got ridiculously excited when I saw the trams from Milan, I was hoping I would spot at least one and I saw quite a few, all three versions of them.
So, yeah, I'm very happy with my trip. And tomorrow I have my first surf lesson ever! Wish me luck!

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's lesson, hopefully I won't make a total fool of myself...
