Nik sitting proudly

For the past three months, we have traveled by foot, bus, train or zipcar, and on Saturday, Nik added a fifth transportation method! And this one is SO MUCH FUN!!!! It is the first bike we have ridden that carries both of us comfortably up and down the steepest hills a city can offer. Today, we took it for it’s inaugural drive, and had a blast!! I took a few videos while riding on the back that Nik will hopefully piece together soon. But until then, please enjoy my fiance sitting atop his beautiful blue steed!!

I recently fell in love with a photo series by a local photographer called i live here:SF. The series is all about people that live in San Francisco and why they live here. Since March of 2009, Julie has photographed over 100 residents! Once it began, the series was so popular that Julie doesn’t even have to try to find people to photograph, they find her. Just like I did. The deal is that Julie will take photos of you in your favorite spot and you will write your San Francisco story. Then she’ll combine the two and post them on her blog: i live here:SF

She also just got word that i live here:SF will be having its own gallery show on November 5, 2010 at the SOMarts Cultural Center!!

Thank you Julie for including me and for spending an hour walking along Page Street in the intense sun!!

#276 Bear at Meatland Harbor

In case you didn’t know, Nik draws what he calls dordles all the time. He’ll often sit down in the evening, like he did today, and draw 3-5 of them at a time. Tonight when he offered me a sneak peak of this one, I loved it. So I figured I would show a few of my favorites. To see all 277, visit his Dordles page.

Street light on one of the most famous bridges in the world

I owe the world a huge blog post! Nik and I have been doing some amazing stuff over the past couple weeks…including signing a lease on an apartment. But I am going to put it off at least until Sunday, when we move in. So hold tight.
