      New Orleans to San Francisco

      January 10, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

      Our last leg on the mainland of America commenced today. It was an afternoon flight so we had a leisurely morning, caught a bus out to the airport, checked in for our flight and waited. And waited and ate. And waited and ate a bit more as it looked more than likely that we would miss dinner tonight.
      After two hours of delays we were on our way. Apparently there were weather problems, low clouds is how the story goes, in San Francisco and a backlog of flights attempting to land. Who knows. But we were delayed.
      We arrived safe and sound in San Francisco, grabbed our bags (after Karen’s experience with United we breathed a heavy sigh of relief when we saw the bags spit out of the chute and onto the carrousel) and headed out into the night air for a shuttle to our AirBnB.
      The shuttle van was an older vehicle and the driver drove like a bat out of hell swerving in and out of traffic and across multiple lanes. But I am here to write the story so we did arrive and in one piece.

      Sleep-in, Breakfast Burritos & Groceries

      January 11, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

      It was 1am when we hit the pillows last night (3amNew Orleans). It can be safely said that we were dog tired.

      However, after a sleep-in and it being many hours since we had last eaten, we needed to find somewhere to eat breakfast before doing the groceries. Same story for each new city when we are renting an apartment. And we always operate with the theory that you never buy groceries on an empty stomach if we can avoid it. After a short walk downhill to Mission Street we found a Mexican restaurant serving breakfast burritos. They were happy to do a vegetarian option and the result was delicious.
      Hunger tamed we continued on to the supermarket. Two excursions later (we had eight days of groceries and an uphill walk so two excursions) we were finished.
      Too late to venture downtown so we made ourselves comfortable in our apartment on the ground level of a family home. Thuy and Jeff are our hosts.
