(Read while listening to Cumbia Natural by Mucho Axe)
This trip was one of the most impulsive and fortunate decisions
of my life.
I was on the phone with a friend I hadn’t seen since I left
PR almost three years ago. We were on a walk down memory lane, reliving crazy
moments when we lived in Old San Juan. I had to go online and buy a ticket to
visit her in San Francisco, Labor Day weekend being the best time to do
so. On past years I’d go to New Jersey
for Labor Day weekend but with my open availability I jumped on the
opportunity.
Adriana bikes around the city and me having recently
purchased my bitching Fixed Gear Bianchi Pista, I decided to bring it with me
and pimp it out on the West Coast. My attire for arrival: shorts, Jesus Christ
sandals, tank top and zip up. I was ready to do Cali!! To my surprise it was
stinking cold. Cut to me freezing outside while I waited for my peoples; not my
best performance! I came with the idea of sun, surf, bathing suit and cold beer
and ended up with layers, leggings and socks!!
None of that mattered. Seeing Adriana and meeting her friends
was an absolute delight; I laughed so hard and enjoyed myself thoroughly.
Exploring the city on my bike was fun/mistake! Advice: Don’t ride a fixie in
San Fran!! Those hills will kill you.
