Some friends and I spent my first weekend there camping on the Sonoma coast at a place called Salt Point. After a hard and long Boston winter, it was great to just be OUTSIDE and have some sun. On the way back, we also had a lovely lunch at this place that had fresh crab sandwiches and a jazz trio right on the water - it was glorious and we hung there for hours.
Back in San Fransisco, I had a slow and relaxing week full of walking, yoga, coffee, reading, museums and all around chilling.
The other cool thing I did was get my tin type portrait done at Photobooth in the Mission. It's traditional 19th century portraits actually shot on a metal plate. I am normally a behind-the-camera kind of girl, so I was a little nervous, but the photographer, Kari, was so sweet and great and she even let me go into the dark room with her to see the process.
All in all, a lovely, slow-down trip, which is just what I needed.
