Random things about San Francisco:

A lot of people in San Francisco drive Toyota Prius.

The majority of the houses are small, not tall and glued together in an endless row of similar yet different facades.

Skate parks are free admission.

Eucalyptus forest have an amazing smell and make a soft rustle that is gentle yet powerful.

Car tires have to be turned towards the curb when parked downhill and away from the curb when parked uphill (found out about this one the hard way).

You have to schedule dates with your friends weeks in advance and last minute flaking is common. Same goes with play dates for your kids.

Many streets have no left turn signs and this can make reaching your destination a pain.

Many houses have flat roofs because it never snows in San Francisco.

On Mission Street there is a shop with 800 flavors of soda!

The fruits and vegetables taste amazing.

Big cities lack the community feel we left behind in Asheville. In San Francisco we realized how good we have it in the city we call home and how we shouldn’t take for granted that our kids have friends next door, walk to school and we can drop at a friends house with hardly any notice at all.
