Sorry, I'm gonna backtrack. I've been so displaced since I've been here that I haven't really wrapped my mind around writing too much. Let's see...
Sunday, my first full day in the city, was picture perfect gorgeous. I was told October was going to be the nicest month of the year here, and it's not disappointing. Getting an extra month of summer is interesting, especially knowing that heavy snow and frost bite aren't around the corner.
On the docket for Sunday was a full day of Burning Man Decompression. Decompression is an all day event in each large city post Burning Man that allows for one final day before the end of the main Burner season. I went to Burning Man on a whim in 2008 not knowing what I was getting into and it turned out to be one of the best weeks of my life and one of the integral seeds that planted the 'I should move to San Francisco' idea. While I didn't visit San Fran for another year and a half after going, Burning Man was grown out of the San Francisco community. So coming here and spending my first day at an event centered around artistic freedom and boundary erasing really meant a lot to me. It's what I want to continue experiencing in this city, so a great way to start.
A few things I have noticed:
- Dogs here look like dogs. Not like little coiffed puppy children.
- Cars stop and wave you across the street...even if they weren't required to stop.
- No one honks.
- I'm going to have amazing thighs from living at the top of a 3 block hill for the next three months. Cheers to that!
