Act1, San Francisco scenes

Scene 3 (22-23 march 2008): Mission II

“wake up, they are here”. 007’s friends come early in the morning, ready for a full day kayaking in Tamales Bay, an inlet of sea that run just right the San Andrea fault, the one responsible for the big earthquake in San Francisco. Waking up was hard, but the excitement for some outdoor activity great! And 007 (whose real mission name is actually “The Princess”) made sure that there were yogurt for me in the fridge (we did not have any for a while in the island…).

The drive for Tamales was scenic and… fast, or least it seems that way after you have been driving not faster than 25 miles per hours for many many months.

I am a natural to kayaking! We paddled across the bay and we had a picnic on the other side, and did a short hike looking for elks. We saw a lot!

And when you stay at a bachelor’s house, you can be sure you will have to go out for dinner! So we had Eritrean food, my favorite!

The next day was total relax! We had brunch at a nice place on the sea, and we went biking in Golden Gate Park and along the beach, just like you see in the California’s movies (only that it was colder and windier). And for dinner, Bruenan food!

I wish I could have weekends like this more ofter! I loved it!

Uh, what exactly is Eritrean food? And Bruenan food?

Good lord child, you go all the way to the states and you can't find a Taco Bell?
