San Fran Day 1

On thursday the 15th we arrived in san francisco and will be staying at the mennonite voluntary service house where lindsay martin, emily miller (great friends from emu!) and emily souder (friend from home!) all live. also lindsay's sister jenna (also a friend from emu) was visiting and it was great to see her as well. it has been a much awaited change to be in a location where the weather is amazingly sunny and yet cooler than what we have been experiencing in the last few weeks. thursday afternoon and friday we took advantage of the great weather to bike around the city and see the sights. on friday in particular we had a nice ride. we rode about 30 miles and saw the haight district, rode over the golden gate bridge, and saw downtown san fran is really ecclectic and friendly(especially to bikers) and one
of my favorite cities we have been, even after a short time here.
