First 3 weeks in San Francisco

This post is long overdue, but I was simply lacking the time in the last couple of weeks. Since I'm just sitting in a shuttle bus with only 10 more minutes to go, I'm gonna keep it short and sweet. Without further ado, here's a short list of things I've been up to in the last couple of weeks:

• Sold most of my stuff in Zurich, packed the rest.
• Crossed a rather large ocean and quite a bit of land. Made it to San Francisco on January 10.
• Started working on January 11.
• Filled out a gazillion forms both on and off work.
• Started exploring the city. Walked around a lot.
• Went running along the San Francisco Bay and through Golden Gate Park. See pictures below.
• Went skiing at Lake Tahoe (Squaw Valley) with my team. Learned how to snowboard. Then met some of my old time grad school friends for a night of gambling in Reno's casinos.
• Went apartment hunting around Nob Hill & Pacific Heights. Found a place.
• Got soaking wet pretty much every day. The weather has been absolutely miserable. According to SF old timers it's the worst in more than 5 years.

On my agenda for the next couple of weeks:

• Buy furniture, move into place.
• Run San Francisco Half Marathon.
• Enjoy the better weather that's hopefully around the corner.

That's it for now, hopefully the next entry will have a bit more prose and less bullet-point lists.

And here are some of the aforementioned pics, taken during some sightseeing tours and runs.
