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. :)

Hee. :) I don't know how they arrived at ending each sentence with "man" but I it makes me smile.

Cindy said...

I just arrived in California the other day (san diego) and have already eaten tacos enchiladas and tacos. I dont think i will eat anything but mexican food while here:)

Kate said...

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!

Kate said...

Your post today (I think the photo mainly!) and thoughts of my own sister coming to visit next week, really brought a smile to my face today man!

Thanks man.

Nicole Marie said...

Love William Eggleston, and this is one of my all-time favourite shots. How fun to have a last-minute trip! And even more fun to see your sister :)

naturally nina said...

Have an amazing time! I am in San Diego right now, doing the same thing. Hanging with my best gal, working, and enjoying lots of Mexican food. Soooo heavenly. p.s. Beware those cloudy days, I got sunburned anyway. :)

Dionne said...

Have fun! I LOVE San Fran!

Silvia said...

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!

Rebecca said...

oh i'm living in this south bay this summer (and loving it!) enjoy yourself.

MrsEm said...

Bro! Welcome to our fair city :)

Fawn said...

Jane Flanagan said...

Have fun Joanna!!

Pretty Things said...

Oh, I love that city! Kahn's is my favorite Chinese restaurant, right on the edge of China Town. And sounds like we had the same cab driver!

Christina said...

I just went there for the first time in April and loved it. I don't think there is anyone in the world who doesn't. Great photo.

Joan@anythinggoeshere said...

Have a great trip, man!

caroline said...

LPC said...

Hey man, are you dissing us? Chill, dude.

Michelle Parks McCourt said...

ps if you have time you have to try Taqueria Guadalajara in the mission - amazing burritos.

Laurel said...

I am a san franciso girlie and you should go to Valencia Street for the cool and best eats for sure besides mexican is at Luna Park Cafe- OMG s'mores for dessert ...divine.
Have fun in our town:)

Cupcakes and Cashmere said...

Have a fabulous time! I'm sure Lucy knows all the best spots, but I do highly recommend a trip over to 18th St. for Delfina Pizza and then over to Bi-Rite creamery. You must go :)

Classic Twist said...

Oh, man..I'm from San Francisco...have an amazing time! Try to get some wine tasting in too...napa is just a short drive from SF :)

Simply Mel said...

How I love my City by the Bay!

Make sure to indulge at the Ferry Terminal...especially some Blue Bottle and Miette!

Michelle said...

Sounds amazing! Last minute trips are always fun.

Phoenix said...

Overuse of word "man", even with women -- TOTALLY SoCal. Have fun in my sunshine state and make sure that in addition to avocado, you get some juicy watermelon :)

Vanessa said...

I say man all the time. I'm from Philly, not California. DOes that make me weird... or wrong? Hmmm...

Anastasia said...

1. When I'm in SF I like to walk until my feet hurt.
2. Have fun with your jumelle.
3. I have a friend named Annie who always says "man." And I think woman to woman usage of the word is also funny.

Jen said...

How exciting! I hope you enjoy your trip here to S.F.!!!

Caroline said...

Giant California burritos?! Color me jealous.

abigail said...

Eggleston is one of my all-time favorite photographers, and this is one of his best photos.
Lucky you, being in SF! I was out there visiting my sister in April and can't wait to go back; hopefully in the fall (yet to tell my sister, though). Have a wonderful time! Be sure to stop into Miette for some super delicious treats and pretty decor.
