Golden Gate Park: Botanical Garden

It costs seven dollars for a non-resident of San Francisco to step into a garden that can fill any nature lovers' needs. Want to have a taste of Africa's vegetation? No problem! They also cover California and Australia.

Africa

Redwood Grove

To be perfectly honest, seven dollars for that? Meh, I'll spend it on a fruit mix from Starbucks... But as a whole, it was a pleasant little sunday stroll to get away from everything. There were probably 50 squirrels in that park and I think I managed to bump into them all. Every corner you turn there's a grey squirrel looking back at you (exotic right, grey squirrels?).

Last week was pretty much of the normal day-to-day stuff, so nothing really worth blogging about. This weekend I'm thinking Alcatraz, so that's going to be fun... I hope at least!

6 weeks down, 6 weeks to go. Time flies so fast it's like I'm on a jet plane. Although it really does slow down a bit once you've localized yourself with all the attractions and shops and so on and so forth. So, I've put my life on autopilot. Wake up, go to the park, pick up the six-year-old, gym, sleep, repeat. Of course there's so much going on during the day, but that seems to be the basic outline of my life. Weekends? Well, no friends = all the time in the world = gym. I better be a body builder by the time I get back. Yeesh. I'm not complaining though, it's nice to know what I'm doing for a change! :)

Anyhoo, just letting myself know I'm still up for this writing thing.. Maybe if I actually got my ass up on weekends to do something fun instead of burning off unneeded calories, my life would sound much more interesting on paper. But for now, I think I'll keep up my routines. My autopilot life is easier anyway.

Here's a bunch of pictures I never had time to post. Hooray!

My old room

My new room. I've got a mini-fridge, microwave, small sink and a bunk bed with a sofa underneath. I live in a 3mx4m cube...
