Oh dear, How I miss you.


Do you remember that song by Weezer that goes "Beverly Hills, Thats where I want to be, gimme gimme, gimme gimme, living in Beverly Hills..." Well, If the song was about San Francisco, It would pretty much be exactly how I am feeling right at this very second. From November 2009 to January 2010 I travelled around the lovely United States of America, in 8 Weeks, I managed to see 19 states, some for only an hour hours while I waited at a different bus stop for the next greyhound, or for a new train, some for a few hours while we drove through your highways to get to some great site, some for only a few days, and others for just over a week.

I was in San Francisco for just over 4 days. It was no where near long enough for me to explore this incredible city, and I remember when I left, I felt a little saddened that I hadnt got to experience more of what I knew was hiding around the corner. I know, that I left a little piece of my heart in San Francisco.

And today, My heart is missing that little piece. I miss the cable cars, the beautiful homes, Haight St, The fog that hits in the early evening and instantly cools the day which has been ever so warm and beautiful, I miss Union Square and Nob Hill, The diversity of the Castro District. I miss walking through the Muesum of Modern Art and drinking coffee on the streets in the sunshine, watching people play chess in on the sidewalk. I miss San Francisco.

  4. Hi Sweetheart,

    Oh San Francisco is nearly in my back yard...It's about 40 minutes away from my front door and I visit it often. Its magical streets, blooming flowers, crooked streets, and all the colorful houses!

    I was there over the weekend for a little garden party and the sunlight was so beautiful it made new freckles appear on my face! Hold on to your memories of that magical city, and I will keep reminding you.

  7. I live in Virginia and have never been to San Fransisco or New York. Isn't that sad? I always feel drawn to London.... I want to go visit the West coast again though now that you're describing it. :)

  10. last year i road-tripped to san francisco with some friends and had one of the best weeks ever. good food, good entertainment, good window shopping, good picnics, we walked miles and miles and miles, marched in an equal right protest, met great/hilarious/insane people on the street. it's a good place. i miss it too.
