Bye bye love.

Spent my day wrapping things up in San Francisco.

• Took a walk to the ferry building to get my dad some sourdough starter.
• Dusted off Cellini Euroline and started packing.
• Bought 6 pairs of new socks/shampoo/dental floss.
• Made a date with Dalia and Emily, my 2 favorite SF people, for goodbye drinks tonite.
• Did some deep breathing and a little bit of bracing.  I've been here a long time.

The Russians have gone back to Russia and as winter approaches the hostel has suddenly emptied out.  The love intricacies keep playing out and between the staff there are people who think they might be pregnant, people who've been shrugged and ones who are dying to go back home but can't.  In order to keep it all together they still drink like fish and party all night, and  I realised today that I've finally started going to bed around 2am and waking up at  10 a-la everyone else. Finally.

Tomorrow night I will be fetched at the airport by a familiar face.  I don't think he knows how much that means to me right now. 


Goodbye San Francisco.  It was easy to spend way more time here than anywhere else.


I hope I see you again someday, you got it goin on.


Alice.
