San
Francisco was our home for one year in 1993. It’s hard to believe that twenty
years have passed since we lived there. We have not been back since, although a
return visit is on my bucket list. I wrote a long post in March 2012 about our time spent in
this beautiful city (http://paulamdeangelis.blogspot.no/2012/03/my-heart-and-san-francisco.html), and how privileged we were to
have had the experience of working and living there. I did not include any
photos in that post. To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the year we spent there, I am including
some photos of us and the different places we experienced, as
well as of the guests who visited us in our apartment that we rented in the
Victorian-style house on Carl Street. It was the first apartment that we looked
at, and it was the one we wanted, despite having seen larger ones. We got it, even though we had to wait a month
for renovations to be finished so that we could move in. Looking back on the
year we spent there, I’d have to say it’s one of the most special and memorable
years of our married life. We did so much together in SF—forever memories. It
was a city of unknowns for us, unexplored territory that we explored and tackled together—a
joint adventure—a good thing for a marriage.
