The last week for me was all about the past (ha!). I ran into some people I haven't seen in years and reconnected with some that I haven't talked to in months. It's funny how life likes to send you a reminder that the world we live in is small and that people in your past still sometimes haunt your present. Last week was also my final week of freedom before work kicks into high-gear for a month, so I enjoyed some quality down time. I also had the worst Saturday ever where Murphy's Law kicked my sorry butt. A warm Saturday morning, farmer's market at the Ferry Building, a Free Gaza protest, and a Giants game meant the city was packed to the gills and getting anywhere was a pain. I had a graduate school event I needed to get to and that cost me a nice hefty Uber ride there and a 2 mile walk back in heels and a blazer. I was never so happy to take off my shoes and take a long bath. Fortunately, the day ended well with drinks on an outdoor patio enjoying the summer nights.
Newly discovered haunts: Mission Beach Cafe (the pancakes were the best and the wait is actually worth it),
Four Barrel Coffee (great, but I am still a Philz girl)
Old stomping grounds revisited: Steins (one of my favorite places in South Bay and a great place to spend a summer evening since they have lots of outdoor seating),
Fig & Thistle (cozy little wine bar),
Brass Tacks
