Today is the most gorgeous day I have seen in San Francisco. So it was
hard not to go out to enjoy the sun. I took a nice stroll to Haight-Ashbury
to visit what I consider to be the mother-of-all-record-stores, Amoeba Records. Amoeba Records is not only huge but has the feel of a neighborhood
store. As far as I can tell the business is thriving and the store
sells everything from independent label vinyls to DVDs, both new and
used.
I bought a few CDs at $5 each:
Starsailors, Morcheeba, The Replacements, and Moby. I had originally planned to read a
book that I bought from City Lights a few days ago after returning from Amoeba Records; but the sun and the
clear
blue sky was simply too enticing for me not to go out. With an urge to explore more
of San Francisco,
I left the apartment and climbed up to the highest hill in the vicinity,
14th Avenue hill (or whatever it is officially known). At the hill top,
I took a (possible) last
panorama view of San Francisco before I leave for Boston tomorrow. Like
Siobhan, I have achieved a considerable amount of Zen since arriving in
San Francisco and the thought of leaving for Boston really sadden me.
While walking down the hill, I finally made up my mind to commit
myself to
moving to the San Francisco-Bay Area after my graduation. What a nice
day.
