San Francisco!

So i've been to SFO a number of times and always love going back! The city is so laid back and friendly, i guess it helps having a really cool sister there and a handful of good friends there as well! This trip back was definitely really relaxing as it wasn't about trying to be a tourist and see and do a lot of random things. Instead, time was spent sunbathing at Delores Park, eating yummy mexican and browsing the stores in the Mission District, hanging out in the Castro, catching up with old friends etc. My sis also rented a zip car one day and we drove up and down some windy roads which took me to some amazing vistas, see below!

San Diego

I recently was in San Diego for work and managed to get some time off to see the city and it's surrounding beach towns. This was my first trip to San Diego so I was excited but didn't really know what to expect. My first inclinations though was that the weather was going to be hot but to my surprise it was actually pretty chilly, a balmy 50 degrees, even colder than NYC at that time!! Despite the chill and wind, it ended up being a really fun trip!! The city itself was really beautiful, especially Balboa park with the zoo, museums, artist village and the amazing botanical gardens! Some cool areas of the city to also check out is the Marina, Gaslamp District and Hillcrest.
