First impressions

The flight was almost a torture... we didn't know we could do on-line check-in even if we had luggages... so we got the most horrible places inside the plane. We watched 3 films each though... and this helped a lot.
When we got to San Francisco it was 16:30pm, and the sun was high in the sky. But for our body it was 1:30 am, so we where both walking like zombies, our eyes where red, really red, and our body was begging for a sleep. We passed by the office to take our apartment key, got home at 6, took a shower and at 7 we where already in bed.

I woke up at 1am... trick from the timezone, as I couldn't get back to sleep I took all my clothes out from my bags and put it in my new wardrobe... which has plenty of space!! gooooood! At 2 i got back to bed, and slept until this morning, so i guess my body is now used to the 9 hours time difference.

This morning we Came to the office early: 8am. It was amazing, 10 minutes drive and here we are! great! We also took our car this morning. At the end is not the pontiac as we where told, but a Nissan Versus, not very beautiful but it seems a nice car. Anyway they said we will change it every month, so we will get to try many different cars... nice :)

This apartment is cool, it is quite big... it wasn't very very clean... we have carpet all over!!! poor Rafa and his not breathing nose! I will try at least to keep clean :) We also have a second room... you know, when you live with someone that plays the guitar you need it!!! And for anyone who will come to visit us: you will have your own room! ieiii! Ah.. it will probably be Robi's room most of the time :)
The complex where we are living is nice... it has a swimming pool, an actual parking place for us and also for visitors. After work we are going to the supermarket because right now we don't even have shampoos!!! :D

The office seems great, full of young people from all over the world, everyone is friendly, I'm really glad the we will be working here for sometime now, I needed and really wanted a change. There is a fridge full of good stuff, orange juice, milk, waffers, begals, kellogs, chocolates... I need to keep attention not to become a whale!! :) Besides that, today at lunch we noticed that the portions here are HUGE!!! really, every plate is enormous! After lunch we went to a grossery store and an ice cream place... and Dear God.. everything is soooooo american! (duhhh) hehehe. I mean, the cakes are machine made, the ice cream are not only ice cream, but with chocolate, candies, cookies and every kinds of things inside it... Welcome to America, where everything is huge and extra sweet! :)

I can't wait to get to go to San Francisco meet Robi and go to the North Beach Festival, and see the Golden Gate, the piers, the pubs and everything Sanfran (and Robi) has to offer :)

Friday it is! iuhulll!
