Food and Blankets

I finally finished Anna's Christmas present!!! It's the first blanket I've ever made and I must say, I'm quite proud of it!

Hans has made me this amazing beer sausage twice now and it's literally the most delicious thing ever! I made the potatoes and carrots to go with it. It was just so pretty that I had to share.

You have to (not) see this!!!

Can you see the invisible man? This Chinese man paints himself to truly blend in! (click on any picture to view more pictures of Liu Bolin's amazing disappearances.)

Trip to San Francisco and a NEW CAMERA!!!

So we finally turned in all our change and bought a new point-and-shoot camera! (Yep, $102 in change!)

So here's a photographic record of our trip to San Francisco this weekend. Enjoy!!!

Playing with the new camera in the airport, while we waited to see if our plane was ever going to take off. We were delayed because of fog. Seriously, all this technology, and we're grounded from some low clouds?
We're riding the BART to our hotel after landing at 7pm.
View from our hotel. Not too shabby.
Breakfast at Sears!!! Best tiny pancakes anywhere!

Egyptian protesters on Market Street. Pretty cool to see this up close. There must have been at least 500 people!
Dinner at Umbria. Little Italian place around the corner from our hotel.
Whoops, breakfast at Sears 2 days in a row!!! (And this is the only picture of the 2 of us not at arm's length, thanks to a very nice stranger.)
Rode the Cable car after a 2 hour nap, which was the 2nd one this weekend. Probably the highlight of the trip.
Knitfitti! (People knit on city objects, it's called knitfitti, like graffiti, only knittier.)
Brownie at Ghirardelli's. Hans had a gigantic chocolate shake, so jealous.
The obligatory bridge shot to finish it off . . .

Isn't it amazing?

The things people can make? (Sorry for the lack of original pictures here . . . need to get a new camera.)

What the what? It's a man on a swing, but it's a ring! I was just struck by the awesomness here.

Also, how happy are we that NBC's comedy shows are new tonight? I've missed Liz Lemon, Leslie Knope, Pam Beasley and Abed. Can't wait to be reunited with all my friends tonight. (Ok, I know how sad that sounds, but really, we all feel that way a little, right?)

Wilkommen!
