I wish they all could be...

I felt so very Californian for a lot of this weekend. Some of this is "any big city" sort of stuff, but whatever. Exhibits:

  • Delicious Peruvian dinner on Friday night
  • Trail run in the cool fog in Golden Gate Park out to the ocean
  • BART ride across to Oakland for a vegetarian ChineseVietnamese* on Saturday night, complete with vegan homemade ice cream cookie sandwiches for dessert
  • Swim in the Bay on Sunday morning in the warm California sun
  • Feel jealous of all the outdoor brunchers as I'm riding my bike home from the Bay
  • Meeting LRM for an outdoor brunch in Pacific Heights
  • Walking around SF in a somewhat scandalously short sundress
  • Enjoying a soy frozen yogurt with ollialaberry sauce
  • Hours of girl talk with a friend who happens to be within walking distance
  • A slightly sunburnt nose
  • 40 mile bike ride with a fellow triathlete, again in the warm sunshine, but with arm warmers - because you never know
  • Margaritas on a friend's sunny porch. Again, rocking a sundress.
  • A $51, full hour, shiatsu massage (so $61 - including a 20% tip) in Japantown. From Mr. Miagi's slightly-younger brother. Legit.
  • Coloring my hair, at home, on a whim. It's not that different, just a little lighter and warmer.
*Thanks, MW. I was just going off of the fact that it's in Chinatown in Oakland. Ha.
