San Francisco

This week, I'm excited to be taking a last-minute trip to San Francisco to see my amazing twin sister Lucy. I'll be working during the days, but eating giant California burritos and hanging out with her at night. Yippee! See you soon, Lucy!

P.S. I called a driver to pick me up at the airport and the dude kept saying "man," like "I'll see you then, man," and "Thanks for calling me, man!" Awesome. :)

  6. Haha, that's pretty much exactly how I talk, it's a west coast thing. When I first moved here people would make fun of me for my use of "man" and "dude" too often. I had to tone it down!

    Have so much fun!

  20. Aww yay! You're going to have so much fun, dude! hehe! I'm from the bay area myself (born and raised!) and I definitely add man and dude to most of my sentences. If you're going to be in the city, I highly recommend La Taqueria on Mission and 24th-- it's kind of a sketchy neighborhood, but the burritos are to die for! Yay for California! and Yay for SF!
