My first weekend in SF went pretty well. After a sweltering Friday night, my apartment clocked in at 97 degrees, I decided to drive on my own on Saturday. Success! Later that evening went to a group dinner to celebrate Chris’ b-day at Mamacita’s, tapas place, in the Marina area. We took over the entire back booth. Finally, living in this area paid off. Definitely fulfilled my 5 person rule, but it wasn’t that hard. Really nice fun group of people, two of whom work for Yelp! : )

Sunday was much more tolerable weather-wise. I volunteered to help Chris move, along with 7 other people. It’s the fastest, most efficient move and he basically moved across the street. After unloading, Chris offered to pay for lunch, so 6 of us trooped over to near J-town’s, The Elite Café. The restaurant was packed and 6 of us squeezed into a booth and enjoyed a fantastic meal. I had the Alabama Scramble. Other orders included: Seafood Benedict, Corned Beef and Hash, Califormia Gumbo, Cheesburger, Mac and Cheese, Deviled Eggs and Cinnamon Sugar Donut Holes. Verdict: even with the wait, I’ll be going back for sure! I’m already counting the days.

Chris and co, dropped me off on Chestnut, and I wandered around until I found the library. Finally, I’m going to have a library card again, after I fill out all the forms. I can’t wait because buying all those books at the airport is making a huge dent in my pocketbook.
