Summer in November

San Francisco always seems to have the best weather in October and November, and this year is no exception. After the gloom last week brought (literally with the weather and figuratively with the new visitors to our front doorstep), this weekend was a welcome sun kissed one.

The roundup:
Saturday was nails and then walking and drinks with Lisa. We enjoyed our jaunt on Union and then made our way up to Sushi Groove. Every dinner at the Groove is excellent - great food, fun atmosphere, and free stuff (somehow we've befriended the head chef and he always surprises us with something amazing). This Saturday I experienced live uni - and it was quite an experience. One I don't need again - been there done that.

Sunday (today) was kayaking with Rob and Emily in Sausalito. It's been a while so it was great getting out on the water with them. The ride was calm at first, but (in standard fashion) the tides picked up just as we were heading back. After exhausting our arms, we went to a local "hole in the wall(ish)" Mexican dive. The atmosphere was great, and food looked amazing, but it felt like a used car salesman's restaurant where at every turn the waitress was trying to up-sell us. "Guac?" "Yes please." "Hot beans or just the normal ones?" "Hot please." "Chips?" "Yes, of course, please." Bill ... bam! Our extras cost more than the meal.

And now it's winding down. Boo.
