San Francisco

Well the summer officially ended for me on September 11th. So on September 12th, I boarded a plane to begin the first leg of my 2 week vacation... San Francisco.

I am going to first rewind a week and a half. While doing lunges at the gym, I tore my right iliopsoas muscle, strained my adductor of the right pelvis, and tore my right gluteus muscle. After having an MRI, my doctor told me I was to be on crutches for an entire month and he "didn't think going on my vacation was a smart idea." Let me tell you, I just about had a nervous breakdown. When you spend your ENTIRE summer looking forward to something and then it basically gets taken away from you, well, it just plain stinks. So, I compromised. I rented a wheelchair and called Christian to inform him of my plan and of his new role as my "wheelchair pusher."

He did a wonderful job :)

The first night, we had dinner at the only Kosher vegetarian restaurant in San Francisco with Christian's research partner (Craig), his boss (Dr. Friedman) and his wife, and other past researcher assistants of Dr. Friedman. We had a wonderful time and ate lots and lots of food!

We were in San Francisco for a total of 3 days. The majority of the time,  I was off doing all the touristy stuff:

Gorgeous house on Lombard street

I drove down Lombard Street all by myself! 

While poor Christian was stuck inside doing this: 

haha! Just kidding! We really were able to spend a lot of time together in the afternoons, so we went and visited some of my favorite SF attractions:

Kara's Cupcakes= LOVE!

  Ghirardelli Square

Best seafood restaurant ever!

 Fisherman's Wharf

People rave about this restaurant so we had to try it. We were not disappointed!
