Trying to appreciate San Fran

So!
I have been trying to get to know San Francisco more intimately since everyone keeps informing me that it is a nice city. This weekend we went to Golden Gate Park with Coffee. We didn't walk too much we only walked from Stanyan St. to the wide open field across from the children's park.
We sat there in the sun, listening to the drums beat. It reminded me of one of our first dates in NY, in central park. We sat there for a couple of hours listening to the music, baking with the sun (in a positive way) and playing with Coffee. He enjoyed the park too except when a big (unknown breed) dog ran up to us and was trying to jump us. He looked like he wanted to eat Coffee. We got so scared that Carlos grabbed Coffee from the grass and we both got up. The dog jumped on Carlos as if trying to grab Coffee away from Carlos. Coffee actually growled and barked at the dog. A few minutes later the owner came running after the dog apologizing.....

But other than that it was very fun, Coffee learned how to shake hands. I ran with him, from him, after him. He fetched the ball. And then towards the end I guess he was so hot from running that he would sit on the shade for a while and then run back to us.

After Golden Gate, I went to work only to find out that all of my PBL's were dead. :( Not fun. But I learned something from the experience. And I drove home to find both Carlos and Coffee dead asleep on the couch. We were all ultra tired for some inexplicable reason.

Although Golden Gate Park is on the completely opposite side of the world of where I live and work I think we'll go back soon.

This morning was my first morning running with Coffee. We ran around 3 long blocks. I really broke out a sweat! It was not much of a run but something is better than anything.
