the
name of a running race in
San Francisco
thoroughly:
completely
landmark:
here it means
a building that is
important
Joe:
Oh, did she make it home okay?
Kristin:
Yeah, she did. It was a really nice e-mail. She was thanking us for the nine
days that we
put her up
when she was here and also for the great time that we
showed her.
Joe:
Yeah, I mean,
thinking back,
we really
crammed in
a lot.
Kristin:
We did. She also said she enjoyed meeting you and getting to know you.
She, uh,
confided in me
that you’re
a keeper.
Joe:
[laugh] Oh, oh, that’s nice. Good.
Kristin:
[laugh]
Joe:
Yeah, I like, y’know, it was, it was
cool
the way she pretty much just was able
to
go with the flow.
I mean, y’know, we pick her up at the airport. I knew that she
was really tired because she had said that she had to get up really early in the
morning to
catch her flight
and that she really only slept a few hours…
Kristin:
Right.
Joe:
…so right after we
pick her up,
we go out and
grab a bite
to eat. And then we
came home for, I don’t know, maybe an hour? And
before you know it, we’re off
to
see that concert at
the Warfield.
Kristin:
Right. Yeah, and so we did that Saturday night. And then Sunday morning
we had to wake up early and go to
Bay to Breakers
which she
thoroughly
enjoyed.
And then that night we went back to the Warfield for the very last show before it
closed.
Joe:
Yeah, that was really cool that she was able to go to the Warfield because, I
mean, that place is a
landmark.
It’s been around since like, y’know, the late 1800s.
And, uh, here it is now that they said that they were gonna be closing it. There really
was no other opportunity to go and, y’know, to see a piece of history.
Kristin:
Yeah. Yeah.

iconic:
famous or well
known
pretty shocked:
very
surprised
Joe:
What’d she have to say about Bay to Breakers? I mean that’s an, that’s an
iconic
San Francisco event.
Kristin:
I think she was, uh,
pretty shocked.
Y’know Bay to Breakers, although it’s
a race, you would never, never be able to tell it because it seems like it’s just a drunk
costumed fest.
Joe:
It seems like a party, actually, to me.
Kristin:
It does. Or uncostumed, there are so many naked people as well.
Joe:
Yeah, y’know what…
Kristin:
So…
Joe:
…y’know what the mayor said when he ran it, uh, last year?
Kristin:
I, I know what you’re gonna say, but go ahead.
Joe:
Yeah, he said, I was surprised there weren’t more naked people.
Kristin:
I know, I love that… that, he made…
Joe:
That was funny.
Kristin:
…that comment. That was right when I first moved here. And I was like,
yes, I’ve moved to the right place.
Joe:
[laugh] That’s great.
Kristin:
[laugh] But you know, as far as like other things that we did… I think she
also really enjoyed getting out of the city. Um, it, y’know, one day Tim took her to
Muir Woods. So she really had a great time, uh, there…
redwoods:
a kind of tree
breathtaking:
amazing
it makes for a great
picture:
it looks good
enough to take a picture
of
Joe:
Oh man.
Kristin:
…just seeing the
redwoods.
Joe:
Yeah, it’s beautiful up there. I mean when you go through that area… I mean,
it’s
breathtaking. It makes for a great picture.

Kristin:
Yeah. Yeah…
Joe:
The other great thing is I love the fact that so many people come from all over
the world to see, uh, the big redwoods. I mean it’s really something that, y’know, you
can
take for granted
living here. But then when you see all the people who come
from, y’know,
far and wide
just to, y’know, come to see ‘em, you really see like,
y’know, how much of an appreciation you should have for them.
Kristin:
Oh yeah. Yeah, and…
Joe:
Some of those things you can’t even put your arms around they’re so big.
Kristin:
I know.
it’s crazy:
here it means
unbelievable
take for granted:
to not
appreciate
far and wide:
everywhere
Joe:
You can step inside some of the trees. I mean,
it’s crazy,
y’know.
Kristin:
Yeah. And then, uh, remember that other day, too, he drove she and I down
Highway 1. That’s always nice, to drive along the coast. It’s a really pretty drive.
the best of both worlds:
having two great things
that are different
Joe:
Oh yeah, and you can stop and go to the beach. Man, San Francisco… We
have the beach. We have mountains. We have the trees. Like, we have
the best of
both worlds
here.
Kristin:
I know. My brother commented on that when he visited here.
Joe:
Yeah.
