a little minnesota in the big city

Sprout and I made it to San Francisco!

The Fernley mechanic finally got the part (which, as it turns out, was coming from San Francisco) Tuesday afternoon, and I made it to Alena's in Santa Cruz late that evening. On Wednesday we left for the East Bay at the crack of dawn and have been apartment hunting since then, which basically consists of driving endlessly (and sometimes aimlessly) around Oakland and Berkeley. It's not the easiest (or most fun) thing to do, but we're feeling pretty good about a couple of places we've seen. (I'm waiting until we nail something down to reveal any photos, though ...) And on the plus side, we're getting to know all the hot spots and main drags in the East Bay. In the meantime we've crossed the Bay bridge (see above) into the big city to crash at a friend's place in the Mission (which is also a really, really cool place).

So, cross your fingers and think some happy thoughts for us & hopefully you'll soon be rewarded with pictures!
