Writing that title was super weird. We were only in the schools for three days this week, and it feels like it's flown by. It's going to be really hard to leave these kids at the end of the month, I'm totally falling in love. "Are you going to be here on Monday still? Good." "Are you going on our field trip with us???" "Miss T, how long is she here for? A whole month? Yes!" Honestly, I am used to my (incredibly wonderful) very affectionate kindergarteners in Spokane, so this whole "fifth graders act really cool" thing is totally new and their little pieces of not-so-subtle affection are good for me.
After school today we headed out as a group to meet up with the secondary teachers at a park down by their school. We passed their school on the way and it's BEAUTIFUL! We also walked by a high school that's apparently pretty sketch, but it was the most gorgeous building ever. The architecture and mural paintings all over this city are incredible. We also saw the Full House houses today! And at the park across the street from them, there's a little "shoe garden": the park's gardener kept finding shoes that had been left by people (don't ask me why people were leaving their shoes at the park...) so he started planting plants in them and now there's a whole collection! It's pretty funny and cute.
I am exhausted and I'm totally miserable to be around in the morning (sorry Caty! She's been a good sport, luckily) so I am taking it real easy tonight. Hope you all have a safe and relaxing weekend :)
Technically the Painted Ladies were only used in the opening credits. The actual "house" is about a mile away at 1709 Broderick St. But Alamo Square has a great view even if the park can be a little shady.
