This was truly a weekend to remember, and it started with a hike in the Redwood Forest before moving to our big house in the Castro in San Francisco. This was such a beautiful, needed hike after meetings that mainly involved sitting. The trees in this forest were the biggest I have ever seen, and the trails could be adventured for a whole day.
From there, we exchanged our vehicles and used public transit to move to the Castro, in the heart of San Francisco. The Castro is home to the PRIDE community majority, interestingly, and has many PRIDE flags around this part of the city. It definitely has a positive impact on the hustle and bustle of this beautiful city.
We then explored our new house, which is gorgeous in every regard! With everything to 3 floors, beautiful bathrooms and a ping pong table, this place will be a great place to relax.
Sunday, I went with some friends to Fisherman's Wharf, a wonderful tourist spot in SF, and I highly recommend walking around, exploring the shops, and tasting some of the wonderful food that is around the pier areas. We went to In-and-Out Burger and had some delicious fast food before getting some famous Krispy Kreme doughnuts. We also saw the bakery that houses the home of sourdough bread!
We then walked down to Pier 39, which is home to countless Sea Lions, relaxing, swimming, and fishing in the pier. It was so cool to see so many of them lounging around with the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz in the background.
We concluded the weekend with some viewing of the Vikings game, which I was thankful to watch the 38-7 victory for the Eagles (but the rest of the housemates weren't as happy). We then had a group meal making pizza and watching movies!
Book reports and more exploring tomorrow!
