Alex picked me up at the airport yesterday, and we ended up driving around East Bay for awhile to scope out the area. Afterwards, we met up with his girlfriend, Jessy, and her brother and visiting friends and went to a great Italian place near Russian Hill. I did a little too much wine sampling... Needless to say, I slept very well. Anyways, my official search for housing in the bay area starts today... Where do I start? Hmmm...
