First week in San Francisco

Hi!

This is my first blog...ever! I want to keep you all (fam and friends) updated on what's going on after the cross-county move from Columbus, Ohio to San Francisco, California. Right now, I am sitting at my favorite coffee spot in the area- Last Laugh Cafe on Dolores and Valley- just a few blocks from where I live now. I thought the name of this blog was kinda funny- the neighborhood I'm living in is called the Mission- so I thought the name for this blog just fit.

I got here Saturday, the 8th, and since then my new roommate Spears and I have traveled around and outside the city, to see the sights and learn more about this amazing slice of California. On Monday, we went to Point Reyes- about a hour drive from here- it is beach that is secluded from everything. It is part of a national seashore, nothing and no one for miles- the only thing you can hear is waves and the ocean goes on as far as you can see. We spent the day there with drinks, sandwiches and a game we made up with beer tabs and plastic cups- resembling OSU's favorite pass time- corn hole! So Relaxing.

Since then we have also walked through a few of San Francisco's beautiful gardens/parks, exploring the public transportation (the Muni and the busses)- not something I'm used to dealing with but I think I'm getting a hang of it, checking out all the extremely different neighborhoods (from the Mission to the Haight/Ashbury district) and last night we went downtown to a jazz club called the Jazz Bistro, close to Union Square.

You'll have to bear with me- I'm learning the names of districts and places as I go.

In closing, this move has taken me away from everything that was familiar and set me in a whole environment with endless possibilities- I feel this is a very valuable experience. So this is what happens when you graduate college and move into the real world!

Have to go... start my first night at Range Restaurant tonight in a couple hours! Will work there until I find a way to use that OSU degree somehow haha

Thanks for reading- hope you're doing well :)
