Company

Well, our friend from Chile arrived two weeks ago, and we have enjoyed having her in town.  Aaron and Carolina are currently both in Colorado, so I have a week to myself here in San Francisco.  I must say that I am enjoying the solitude, and I have some fun things planned for the next couple of days.  It was nice to come home from work last night and have a glass of wine and do absolutely nothing.

I think we have shown Carolina a pretty good time so far.  She was quite out of sorts her first week here  adjusting to a new time zone, getting over jet lag, and eating a different diet.  We took it pretty easy and just spent our free time showing her around the city.  We eventually made it up to the Russian River area and stayed in a cabin for a couple of nights.  The wineries we visited were great, and as always we came home with a perfect variety of reds and whites.  The Russian River wine country tends to be less touristy than parts of Napa and Sonoma.  There are many wineries to choose from and they are tucked away so perfectly in the quiet countryside.  It was good we had a map or we most certainly would have missed the places we visited.  I love this part of California.  The small towns are quiet, the woods are full of towering Redwoods and lush green forest, and the air is especially fresh.  A very special and unique place for sure.

This past weekend Carolina and I went out and experienced night life in the city.  I tend to enjoy the pub scene more than a wild night of dancing, but we just had to dance.  After working all day, I ran home and changed into skinny jeans and heels and managed to dance til closing time at two in the morning.  I was even at the gym the next morning by nine.  Anyways, the club scene is most interesting here in the city.  The first place had a twenty dollar cover charge and drinks also cost a fortune.  It was pretty much an Asian dance club, so we stood out a bit.  Our next destination was free of charge and had great pisco sours.  There was a large gay population here, so that made for an interesting time.  We laughed a lot at this place!  The last club we visited was the Tunnel Bar, and it had a lovely mix of people.  We both got a beer and head upstairs to dance until closing time.  Good times!

Fortunately when Carolina returns to the city I have five days off, so we can enjoy the remainder of her time here together.  We have a party to attend on Saturday and then a concert on Monday.  Maybe there will be one more night of dancing, and hopefully Aaron can join us!
