Sia's off for her next adventure ...

We've finally arrived! After months of not knowing whether one day we'd end up in sunny San Francisco or not, we're here ...

The flight over was not so pleasant for me. A splitting headache made me take an aspirin which in turn made me totally nauseous. Will was forced to play "pakezel" (pack mule) again. He carried all the big bags from Powell station to the Gaylord suites, which we will call sort-of-home until the 24th of October.

To prevent us falling asleep immediately after arrival we walked to the embarcadero. On our walk - in the middle of town - we spotted a bird of prey who had just caught something and was eating it with a lot of appetite. Just hope it wasn't a small hedgehog ...

Wednesday, we tried to get Will a Social Security Number (for which we'll have to wait about a month - that is, if they don't forget about it ...), we opened a bank account, bought the best porridge / granola ever, filled our fridge with all sorts of organic fruits, and got me a phone ... ;-) Just in case, we can be reached now at +1 415 6230294 (mobile).

Yesterday then, we went house hunting. Managed to get two appointments, one just one block away from the sea, the other in town near Balboa park. The "two rooms for a couple (or one who needs space)" near the sea couldn't seduce us, but the sea itself was beautiful with all the fog hanging around. The other house (Looking for awesome roomate(s) to join a happy home), we really liked, especially the people there. Curious to know where we'll end up ...
Today and tomorrow, we'll try to get some other appointments.

  3. Waah toch spannend, zo'n heel nieuw begin. Alles nog onbekend. Leuke huisgenootjes zou "een goeie draai vinden" wel versnellen! Succes!
