West Coast, meet East Coast!

The DeGrushes (and Trevor-honorarily a DeGrush of course) have picked up their annual tradition of picking one child and thoroughly invading their lovely city. Needless to say, Worcester/Bettie was NOT the chosen child this year. Bill has been in San Fran working with the AmeriCorp doing awesome things at a local elementary school while also living THE LIFE! We decided he was the obvious invasion candidate this year.
"It's a trumpet tree! Quick, take a picture"
We all flew out of our respective ports and met up with Billiam, who gave us a fabulous (with surprisingly/impressively polite driving etiquette for a big city) driving tour of San Fran. We ended up in the mission and had tacos el pastor, enchiladas, burritos and quesadillas as big as your head with endless chips at a clearly very popular hole-in-the-wall Mexican joint. Delicious.
Then we wandered onto a very quirky little bar-
Our tables were made of maps of the world circa USSR era, and a map of Paris (my personal favorite). We had sangria, flan, and dominoes. The walls, ceiling, floor, and inhabitants were literally covered in tchotchkes, art and artifacts.


Bill then drove us to his really fabulous apartment where he and all his other do-gooder Americorp people live. It has quite the impressive view.



Then off to bed- Loli to arrive soon!
