Tomorrow I fly out to San Francisco, my time in San Diego having officially come to an end. Casting the mind back over the last month, I'm considering how to summarise the whole experience, how do I view it?
I think the main thing I've done out here is see city close to how it really is, sure I've been through and done all the touristy shit and that's been great. But in staying here so long I've got to know the backstreets as it were. I've been able to appreciate small farmer's markets and the subtle architectural and cultural differences that occur as one diffuses outwards from the city centre. There are the little things that make home, home. In San Diego, I've found some of those, I know the best place for me to go for a walk where I can sit and write and take in the view. I know my favourite place to go and chill out in the middle of the day. I recognise some of the people that live around here. And although this may not seem like much, it's a nice experience to have, to feel that I know the city that little bit better then most tourists.
I'm stoked for San Francisco, having heard nothing but good things about it, sounds like a city with a great vibe all round. The hostel I'm staying in looks like a real sweet place to stay having been recommended to me by several different people. I'll be in San Francisco for three weeks from tomorrow, Tuesday the 26th April and I can't wait.
