CALIFORNIA
San Francisco
I was in the Bay Area from Thursday to Monday but I had the FLU so I’m just going to write one blog post because I was pretty much dead for the entire time.
Thursday morning was when the flu hit me like a ton of bricks. I thought my head was exploding, I was sweaty and weak and had no appetite. For some hilarious reason I thought I had food poisoning, so I just popped an advil and got on the airplane and hoped for the best. Didn’t question why I was freezing cold in the airport!
I got on BART and survived my 45 minute train ride downtown, where I survived a half mile walk to my friends’ apartment. They weren’t home, so I fell into their guest bed at 7:30 PM and was fast asleep.
Friday day was work/career stuff. I barely survived that, then Ted picked me up and brought me back to Redwood City to see Jessica and her coworkers. We got drinks (and by we I mean they, I just had a few tater tots) at Dog Haus Biergarten. I held my own but it was good to head back to Jess and Ted’s house for pajamas and youtube.
Saturday my brother picked me up and we went to Alice’s which at this point I shouldn’t tag anymore because we go there so damn often. We met Tyler and my Dad there, I got my usual BMW burger but could only eat half of it.
That night Jessica brought me down to Omescape Sunnyvale to do the Chaos in the Galleria escape room. It’s 90 minutes and pretty in depth. There are four or five rooms you need to explore and solve puzzles in. I didn’t find it too difficult to be helpful either! I found the puzzles a little more obvious than what we experienced at Boda Borg.
Sunday Jess and I headed up to San Francisco to see Ashley and Cameron at their place (the very same place I had stayed Thursday night). We walked to lunch at Ippudo Ramen which was fine but I still wasn’t feeling well enough to eat all my food or really properly enjoy it.
I missed my flight at 6 so I headed back down to Redwood City for an early bed.
Monday, my brother came back to get me and we went out to lunch with my dad at Breakers Cafe. It may only have 3 stars and may be a random diner in a plaza in a random small town in the Bay Area but Breakers is one of my go to cheap diner spots.
Finally my brother took me to the airport (early!) and I headed back to Austin.
