Hello from San Francisco!
I'm racing against time b/c D and I are sharing a computer here, and D is a techie. 'Nuff said. So I will let him have it soon!
Anyway, SF is a little grittier and colder than I remember, but I'm enjoying it immensely anyway. The fog rolled in for the first time in my experience. It was kind of romantic...reminded me of Carl Sandberg's night creeping in on little cat feet. We had a delicious dinner at Indian Oven on Fillmore Street. We shared saag paneer and aloo gobi saag (potatoes and cauliflower with spinach). They cooked the spinach nice and spicy without too much cream.
Went through 2 books on the plane. Both were awesome. One was Hard-boiled and Hard Luck by Banana Yoshimoto, very lyrical, beautiful and groovy. The other was the second book in the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, which I love. The guy next to me kept clearing his throat but was very nice about getting up whenever we had to get out of our seats. We stopped in Detroit to change planes. Home of Madonna and Eminem. And tires.
Passed a yoga center I'm planning on trying. Yoga Tree. One of the classes is taught by Carre Otis. She's a former model who resorted to unhealthy methods to keep her weight down...now she's a size 12 (but she's really tall), no longer modeling, and apparently teaching yoga! So maybe I'll meet her.
Tomorrow we'll have banana bread French toast at Mama's on Washington Square and check out Coit Tower afterward. This city is more walkable than I thought. Great hills.
