CE San Francisco Week 3!

Phew, just catching up from our whirlwind of activities this past weekend. On Friday we went to see Wicked at the Orpheium Theatre in downtown San Francisco, boy were we in for a surprise about the wicked witch of Oz!


On Saturday we had the opportunity to give back to our community at the Glide Foundation (featured in Will Smith's movie, The Pursuit of Happyness), where we made and packaged over 1,000 lunches! Our giving didn't stop there. We continued in the food business by packaging over 1,000 boxes for the elderly. We really had a system down by the end and I know the boys that had to do all the heavy lifting were glad when we finished! Some of us headed south to warmer weather and to see Rihanna perform live. What a night!


Our adventure didn't stop there because on Sunday during our trip to the Academy of Sciences (can you believe that they have the largest living roof AND the world's largest digital planetarium) was halted when we had to wait 30 minutes to enter due to a fire alarm before we arrived. It was well worth the wait to see the Amazon exhibit and the Albino alligator. After an eventful weekend, it was nice to unwind and go bowling at the Yerba Buena Center.



Monday night we had the chance to test out the sweet spots of San Francisco. Some of us made it to Ghirardelli Square to try Kara's cupcakes while others of us opted for the San Francisco tradition of a delicious Nutella crepe!

Tuesday night we explored the Fillmore area including some chicken and waffles at Gussie's (I guess some of us really miss that home cooking!) as well as check out the shops on the street made famous for the jazz influence.

Can't believe we're already three weeks into the program! Most of us are looking forward to our beach trip to warm Santa Cruz on Sunday, since no one is especially used to this cool (60 degree) weather!
