I flew down to SFO on Thursday. Mike had to move apartments yet again. And no the answer to your questions, is no he is not moving back home permanently. We managed to rent a place last January that was not rent controlled. So alas when the lease came up they wanted to raise your rent astronomically. So we are moving yet again. Now the good news is that the new apartment is awesome, minus a few small things like the daily varying temperature. Really warm during the day and silly cold at night.
The new apartment has an amazing view. It is in Potrero hill. It is a really nice very trendy area. Lots of great restaurants and some really great friendly people. Here are some pics.

This is the view from the Kitchen.

We have already had a chance to eat in some great new restaurants. Thursday night we went to Aperto. Great little Italian restaurant in the area. We both had risotto. I had their Lentil and chickpea soup. Mike had their braised Broccolini. It was all excellent.

Friday after the big move – which really was not so big. It took about 4 hours total. That includes all boxes unpacked. We headed out the The Parkside dive bar. Had awesome dive bar food and we met a bunch of people that work with Mike. It was a really nice treat for me to put some names to some faces. We had a great time.

We didn’t really eat dinner, we did have fabulous snackie food, so since after drinking beer we were hungry we headed to the local pizza place, Goat Hill Pizza. It was awesome. They were closing so we just grabbed some Za to go and headed back here.

Saturday morning we got up and rented a zip car to do some final moving errands. We did a grocery run, a Bed bath and beyond run for a shower curtain and what not. Gawd I love Whole foods for grocery, I could just walk around in there for hours.
We came back and unpacked everything after finishing cleaning the old apartment. Then we returned our Zip Car. We headed downtown for lunch at Bangkok Thai Noodle house. This place is sooooo great and so affordable. I like to eat here at LEAST once while I am in SFO.
Number 6 and 7 ROCK!

We of course hit the apple store for a new Iphone case for me and then hit up the mall for a massage and then hightailed it back here for our cable appointment at 4. Yes my technowizard could not sort out the cable issues, so we requested some assistance. We did find out that the problem is not Mike, but the fact the lines had been physically disconnected.
After all the cable was set up we headed out to meet Bill and Elizabeth at Leopold’s for a beer. This is a little European Gasthaus, with “Alpine” cooking. This little restaurant was absolutely packed. You have to squish in just to get a beer. When you walk through the door the smell of the food is to die for. Now the plan for the evening was to go for Sushi, but that was quickly quashed. We stayed and it was SO MUCH FUN>

We drank several beer out of boots! The rule of the boot is the boot can not touch a counter or table. A boot is 2 LITRES of beer!

THis was appies!

It was all so good.
So this fine sunny morning in San Francisco, we had big plans on going to this place called Plow. A very busy restaurant up our block. It was lined up down the street though, so we choose to just go and walk in the sunshine until we found a different place to eat!
We ended up at Serpentine. It was also great. I had dungeness crab benedict and Mike had Chicken Fried Steak and eggs. Mike’s was awesome and Mike was good minus the fact the eggs were still clear on one of my bennies. So I skipped that one. But as you can ready there had been no lack of food, do I will live. We walked back through the dogpatch and up this crazy hill!
The rest of the day has been hanging out watching movies with wine and cheese! Such a great way to end the weekend!
I will blog more later this week.
May even venture out for Carnival food!
