Indepedance Day

It's the national 4th July holiday today so no work. Well not in the office anyway. Instead it's a trip to Radio Shack and then Safeway to pick up bits and pieces that we need to make our apartment a home - where we can also eat! Hence the Safeway bit. We also drove up to Costco at Harrison Street to buy an electric sweeper for our hardwood floors. Before going into Safeway, we stopped at a fresh juice and smoothies bar where we found that not only can you purchase a fresh natural drink, you can also have vitamin boosts to your order! Well, we bought 2 smoothies, but when confronted with "Do you want a boost with that?", we made our excuses and left.

On our way back we saw an enormous mural running along the side of a warehouse. In fact, as we drove home through Mission district, there seemed to be healthy competition as to which streets had the better murals. After unpacking more boxes, I managed to spend a few hours working getting prepared for my day tomorrow. Antonella and I finished the day by watching some amazing firework displays from our windows as the city celebrated the American Independence.
