However, we didn't fair too badly here around Greenlake, and I spent the week mostly sleeping and eating, which was great, but am looking forward to getting back in the normal routine of things. <br /><br />The food looks fabulous!!! I heard that Google employees get free food, and the veggie choices look stunning! The cafeteria at my former office job was absolutely dire!! <br /><br />The Japanese fare looks mouth-watering too. SF is such a great town for food!

Good food.<br /><br />The weather was great 3 of the 4 days so we were happy. Next time we go we should have a blogger meetup! I want to meet the SF area bloggers.<br /><br />Mathew,<br />Why, thank you. You know, the food looks so delicious that I'm beginning to believe it WAS delicious, even though I know otherwise. It wasn't bad — just not fab. SF wouldn't be a bad place to live if you like an urban environment — and have lots of cash. Or work at Google.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146578985330272891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-65476703955117704652012-01-22T15:11:23.957-08:002012-01-22T15:11:23.957-08:00What a wonderful post!

I know that must be for employees, but still, I would be so huuuuge. I have terrible willpower.<br /><br />I'm so glad the weather was nice for you, and I love the house you stayed in - quite beautiful. The food looks good, even though it didn't taste fantastic.

Too bad it's so expensive to live there.<br /><br />Christina,<br />We got home Monday night, but we DID get to Herbivore! Google employees are spoiled for sure, and probably ca never work anyplace else.<br /><br />Claire,<br />I can't believe you don't have snow. There should be snow on the ground all winter! Google doesn't give their employees all those perks for nothing — they work hard.<br /><br />Foodfeud,<br />He's not 100% vegan, but probably pretty close. You have to be an employee or guest of an employee to eat at Google. Sorry. :)<br /><br />Richa,<br />We still have snow on the ground and ice on the sidewalks.

Then you'd be in luck!<br /><br />Laloofa,<br />We did get pretty snow, at first. But with humidity close to 100%, it's pretty, HEAVY snow, and we all know where that leads. It's in the melting stage now, with rain and warming temps, but I'm surprised at how much snow is still out there!<br /><br />I didn't take interior pictures because except for the kitchen, the interior wasn't as nice as the exterior. The pics we saw online were MUCH nicer than the actual apt. http://www.airbnb.com/rooms/70746<br /><br />About Google — I don't think so.

I've...Wow, your weather really has been a mess. I've been keeping tabs (and viewing some of the photos) on the Weather Channel web site and thinking "yikes." Too bad you didn't just get a pretty snow instead of all that dangerous ice. Be careful out there!<br /><br />Love seeing the V Word on that airline menu! I flew Alaska Airlines from Seattle to SF a decade ago, and thought it was very cool that they gave out apples as snacks.<br /><br />SF's Painted Ladies are such beauties to behold, how fun that you got to stay in one! And an especially lovely one, too. Did you take any interior photos?<br /><br />I'd read before that Google is an amazing place to work, but wow - that food! Those bikes! Do you think they'd just let me eat and bike there without having to do any actual work? :-)<br /><br />Can't wait to see more from your trip. I'm glad you got to enjoy a fun getaway and beautiful weather!Laloofahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07256023593175821427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-40673672647157664752012-01-21T00:11:08.796-08:002012-01-21T00:11:08.796-08:00Wow!
