I took a trip to Tahoe the weekend I got back before doing some intense studying for my board exam at the end of January. It feels good to be back on the same time zone as the bf but it's another adjustment we have to make. Enjoy some photos of Tahoe.

Coming from CA I'm used to eating king crab or snow crabs and the rare occasion of dungeness crab; so eating these MD blue crabs were a new experience for me. It was definitely an experience and it takes quite some work to get the suckers open in order to eat the meat however the meat was good!! We went to Wild Country Seafood and then Storm Brothers Ice Cream Factory because there's always room for ice cream!<br />

I didn't make it out today to get my cold brew refilled so I decided to make my own. I cut <a href="http://www.vervecoffeeroasters.com/" target="_blank">Verve Coffee</a>'s recipe in half because I only go through 16oz per week. It's currently in the fridge waiting for me so I can drink it in the morning :)<br />
<br />
Grind 1/2 cup (4oz) of coffee coarse. Pour into your vessel (I used my french press). Pour 2 cups (16oz) of filtered room temperature water over the coffee. Press the coffee grounds down to ensure they are all soaking. Put it in the refrigerator overnight. Mine will be soaking for ~14hrs. In the morning I will press the filter down and pour. If you don't have a french press, filter the beans through any strainer.<br />

Portland is an amazing city! Everyone is so friendly, huge bike culture, cheap and good food, inexpensive living, NO TAX! Seriously thinking of moving to Portland in the future.sarawrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16655228251559378602noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3191825343594347231.post-17065841131899011552013-12-23T11:34:00.001-08:002013-12-23T11:34:12.967-08:00Sutro Baths Golden HourArrived in SF last week to the warm weather of temps in the low 60s :) The boy picked me up and we headed straight to SF. Went to the Sutro Baths while the sun set. It reminded of the time we went to <a href="http://sarawrsays.blogspot.com/2013/04/030913-santa-monica-golden-hour.html" target="_blank">Santa Monica</a>. The previous time we came out to Land's End, we just stayed on the top of the cliff; this time we decided to go down and explore. The Pacific Coast is so beautiful. Or maybe it's just the vast ocean that I find intriguing. Either way, it's great to be back on the West Coast!<br />
<br />
P.S. I'm really sad I forgot to charge up my dslr battery before I left and that I forgot to bring the actual charger.<br />

The food at <a href="http://www.cafefina.com/" target="_blank">Cafe Fina</a> was absolutely delicious! I had the king crab legs and they were the best crab I've ever tasted. My brother's paella looked really good too but I didn't get to try any. We had dessert at Pebble Beach and enjoyed the view of the 18th hole. Then we headed back home along the 17 mile drive road. When you enter, they give you a map at the gate and it has a list of the different stops along the way with a brief description. We stopped at the Lone Cypress and China Rock.<br />

After stand up paddleboarding we came back to the campsite to have al pastor tacos and some camp site chillin and ice cream. We were all so exhausted that we took naps. I took mine in the tent and it was so hot in there! After the naps, I wanted to go hiking and exploring; after all, I did rent a lens for the purpose of landscape photography. Jon, Cody, and I drove to Emerald Bay and hiked a short 1 mile trail down the lake (Vikingsholm Trail). The drive there is well above the actual lake and it was breathtaking and when we got down to the actual lake, we were all amazed. The water was so still and blue. There was a sign that said "extremely cold water." I should have took a pic, oh well. (I think they say it's cold because it's snow melt.) We saw girls jumping off the pier and climbing back onto their family boat. I was still in my bikini and was contemplating jumping in. The family encouraged me to do it, I was concerned about the cold water (because of the warning on the sign). I mustered up the courage to do it and asked the family if I could use their boat to climb back onto the pier opposed to swimming all the way back to shore. I'm so glad I did! The water wasn't cold at all. The boys weren't in their trunks anymore but they didn't want to miss out on the fun so they jumped in too. All three of us loved the spontaneity of it all. We came back to the campsite and made 1/3lb burgers with all the fixings and played with some light graffiti and ate s'mores. It was a great trip and can't wait to go back to Tahoe in the summer again! Of course I'll make a trip in the winter as well :)</div>

Since I was out of the tent I decided to use the restroom, which I ended up waiting 10 minutes for. By that time I was already wide awake. I also saw the sun shining horizontally through the trees and it made me want to go shoot some pics. Jon woke up also and I asked him to go with me to the General Store to get more firewood for the morning after he used the restroom. He didn't have to wait at all! So he went back to sleep and left me with his keys to the car (stick shift O_O). Went to the General Store to buy firewood but it wasn't open yet (<i>6:45am</i>...they open at 7:00am) and I realized I didn't have my wallet either. I decided to take pictures at the lake until the store opened. The view was breathtaking! It was so quiet and serene with just a few dog walkers out. (When we went back to the lake to paddle board, the beach was filled with people! So glad I was able to capture it in the morning.) Took a few snapshots and then went back to the campsite to get my wallet to buy firewood. <i>7:15am</i>, everyone was still asleep. I stalled a total of 2 times; I was so proud of myself!<br />

I rented a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-14-24mm-2-8G-Nikkor-Angle/dp/B000VDCTCI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1374621843&sr=8-1&keywords=nikon+14-24mm+f%2F2.8" target="_blank">Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 lens</a>. Thanks ohyuh!!<br />
<br />
The boy first wanted a root beer float from Foster's Freeze so we got that before we actually hit the road. I've never been to Tahoe in the summer time; I've always gone in the winter for snowboarding. The first glimpse of the lake was GORGEOUS! You just have to see this place for yourself! It's so grandiose. Got to <a href="http://www.camprichardson.com/" target="_blank">Camp Richardson</a> at 8pm and immediately started to pitch the tents, despite our hunger. Once we got settled in, we made dinner (<strike>ate</strike> devoured them before I had a chance to take a photo) and ate dessert (s'mores -- <a href="http://www.campfiremarshmallows.com/products/giant-roasters/" target="_blank">campfire giant roasters marshmallows</a> which are HELLA big). We brought a variety pack of <a href="http://www.shocktopbeer.com/s/" target="_blank">Shocktop</a> from Costco and I was really excited to try the <a href="http://www.shocktopbeer.com/s/index.php/our-beers/shock-top-honeycrisp-apple-wheat/" target="_blank">honeycrisp apple wheat</a>. Super good!!!! Tastes like less intense apple sidra. Since I cooked dinner, the boys helped by washing the dishes :) The rest of the crew arrived around midnight. A day of paddleboarding, chilling, and hiking ahead of us! More posts to come!! Stay tuned!<br />

It's really hard to spot who's who out in the water, especially without my glasses on. It was fun to spend a morning at the beach though :) We went to eat açai bowls from Cafe Brazil after. Super good!!<br />

I'm officially on summer break with no school and no clinic. I have some time to relax and slowly prepare myself for another two semesters of non-stop schooling.<br />
<br />
If anyone is looking for a hike to do in the Bay Area, I will recommend <i>this</i> hike. It's relatively easy with a beautiful view. Just make sure you have enough gas because gas is expensive in Bolinas, CA. Alamere Falls is considered a "tide-fall" because it empties straight to the ocean. According to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_waterfalls_that_empty_into_an_ocean" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>, there are only 18 in the world that do this, 3 in the US and 2 in CA.<br />

Made my way out there with some friends after waiting in line for Bi-Rite Ice Cream. The park is full of so many interesting people! Right when we sat down, some guy came up to us and asked if we wanted to buy some weed. haha! So crazy! There were so many people there having picnics, drinking, doing cartwheels, playing frisbee, making music, all sorts of things! What we found the most fun was the play ground :) Later we saw a sign that said "Adults must be accompanied by a child." Ooops.<br />

For all of the blogs I follow who update regularly, props to them because it's a lot of work! Especially when it's a large batch of photos.<br />
<br />
Well.... this is when the boy and I ventured to SF to see <a href="http://thebaylights.org/">Bay Lights</a>. It was really pretty! Pier 14 was closed though. I think photos of the bridge from there would be really nice. Hopefully over the summer they'll open up the pier so we can go again.<br />

<br />
These are from my previous trip to SoCal and I really wanted to go to the beach! We decided on Santa Monica because Third Street was close by (even though we didn't really walk around there). We made it there in time to catch the sunset. It sounds like the perfect romantic setting but we're not really like that. It was beautiful though, hands down.<br />

Went to see BAY LIGHTS with my man the Friday before I had to head back to DC. I don't like leaving but one day I'll come back to CA permanently with a few letters behind my name.<br />

Hiked Alamere Falls! It's a beautiful hike and not too hard. It's just a bit scary if you want to go to the beach because you have to carefully maneuver yourself down the cliffside and then come back up. Those pics will be up soon once exams subside.<br />

I guess it's avocado season!<br />

Tried to make an egg in an avocado cup. This one I cut an avocado in half and scooped a little more out to make room for the egg. Cracked the egg directly into the avocado and baked it for about 20 minutes on 400 degrees. There are other ways to do this, such as slowly pan frying it. I ate all of my avocados so I'll try next time.<br />

Made a huge crockpot full of buffalo chicken dip and trying to find different ways to eat it up. This way was pretty good!!<br />

Just playing around with Lightroom. Last photo shot was from my iPhone 4S using the valencia instagram filter. That's my favorite filter. hehe ^_^<br />
<br />
I finally bought a coffee grinder so I can finally use my french press and coffee beans I got for Christmas! It yielded a pretty nice cup of coffee. I think next time I'll use less water so the coffee taste is stronger. The yirg ycfcu peaberry has a nice sweet taste to it and the beans smell amazing!<br />
<br />

I really enjoyed it! I though it was cool to be in the midst of where laws are made. Even though the Representatives and Senators are on a vacation right now, it was still very cool to see everything. Last time I was here I was too young to care but now that I'm older, I've learned to appreciate it. After all, what is decided in this building is going to affect me in the future as a citizen and a physical therapist. We got to see Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton and chat with her for a bit. I can't wait until we get to tour the White House! :D<br />

It's a once in a lifetime experience, so might as well take advantage of living in DC during an election! Walked about 2 miles in the cold 30 degree weather to wait at the entrance to the National Mall. They told the public that the gates would open at 6:30AM to go into the Mall area and we got there at 6:00AM. Just our luck, they opened the gates at 8:00AM so that left us standing in the cold, in a crowd for 2 hours. We saw the sky go from pitch black to sunny. Finally the gates opened and we trickled in VERY SLOWLY and claimed a spot in the front right along side Pennsylvania Ave (the Parade route). 3 more hours until the Swearing In Ceremony begins and 6 more hours until the Parade starts! The sun went away and it was FREEZING!!!!! They started the Ceremony on time and then they went to eat lunch. The Parade was supposed to start at 2:30PM but it didn't start until 3:30PM! The speakers kept playing the same songs over and over. It was driving the State Trooper in front of us nuts. He was fun. Obama passed us in a car! And then half a block down he decides to get out! We tried to run after him but it was too crowded and there was a barricade It was still pretty awesome to witness a piece of history and actually see these influential figures in person!<br />

She stopped by NY before heading back to Dubai. Walked a lot and did a lot of eating. Not that much shopping, surprisingly. I'll let the photos speak for themselves. I love NY! When I got back to DC, I missed it already! NY's convenient subway system, food, buildings, culture, burrows..... If anyone knows any cool spots on DC, I'm welcome to suggestions!<br />

SF GIANTS ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS!!! Good job boys!!<br />
<br />
Anywho, the boyfriend came to visit the end of September. Finally getting around to editing and posting pictures since Hurricane Sandy has closed school. Gives me some extra time to do things for myself. I just hope the power doesn't go out.<br />
<br />
This is from our Saturday spent together. We did the Capital Bikeshare daily membership for $7 and biked around the city. It was so fun! I highly recommend it. It's a fun and cheap way to get around the city. Plus you get to see more things than if you were traveling via Metro. If your bike trip goes over 30 minutes, then you have to pay an additional fee. But, since there are so many Capital Bikeshare stations around the city, we just parked our bikes before we hit 30 minutes and got a new code for another 30 minute ride. We went to so many places. Oohh's and Aahh's, District Taco, Old Post Office clock tower, up and down Pennsylvania Ave, Georgetown, Smithsonian Mall, and ended at District Pi on F St where we enjoyed a few classes of quality beer and pizza. It was so fun to spend the day with the boyfriend. Makes me miss him even more.<br />

I was studying outside one day and bugs kept flying around me. No wonder I never see people hang out on the grass when it's nice outside. The mosquitos really like me out here. I never had problems with bug bites in CA. I keep finding new bug bites whenever I shower. Hydrocortisone helps but it still itches!!!sarawrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16655228251559378602noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3191825343594347231.post-51273930653203235202012-09-09T17:03:00.000-07:002012-09-09T17:03:55.515-07:00Life In DC Through My Instagram EyesI want to keep a record of things that are happening to me since I moved to DC for graduate school. I've been very busy with school but I'm taking this time now to take a break from studying to update this blog.<br />
<br />
Some things I've noticed is that people ask "Where do you stay?" or "Do you stay at ___?" opposed to "Where do you live?" or "Do you live at ___?" When people ask me that I get a little confused.<br />
<br />
The weather has been humid every single day since I arrived on August 14th. Just walking 2 blocks I am sweaty. I really dislike the feeling of being sweaty and sticky. I even tried running once outside around the Smithsonian Mall. I went pretty far and I didn't feel the humidity while running, but when I stopped running, that's when the sweat started pouring out. Today is the first day that WASN'T HUMID! I loved it! Too bad I'm cooped up in the library studying.<br />
<br />
The Metro is a lot more costly than I thought it would be. I love taking it because I don't have to worry about traffic or finding parking and I like walking. It makes me feel like a native. It's just the cost, and it doesn't go to all of the places I want to go to. I'll get used to it. They have this thing called Capital Bike Share and you rent a bike and bike to places. Really affordable too! But I haven't tried it out yet. I also don't really want to arrive at my destination even sweatier than I would already be if I just walked there.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the pictures! I'll try to update more often. No promises though.<br />

This was a CRAZY storm that came out of no where! I don't have a TV so I don't watch the news and didn't know that there was a tornado warning. I left my apartment which is across the street from this Target to get some stuff and take a break from studying. Then when I'm paying and ready to head back, this is what I see! Rain going sideways and the trees going crazy because of the wind! Lucky for me, my roommate picked me up and just walking to her car, I got DRENCHED! The weather out here is so strange.<br />

Foolish me. I tried this Mexican place out hoping it would taste similar to Mexican food back at home. It got good reviews on Yelp. It was not even comparable to west coast Mexican food. I guess I'll have to hold out until I return to the other side.<br />

Stopped by a whole bunch of eateries and made it through the windy roads of Big Sur through the fog. We were able to catch a glimpse of the sunset as we exited Big Sur. Although the drive takes FOREVER, I highly recommend it; it's gorgeous!<br />

Lots of stuff going on. I'll be posting photos from past events :P<br />

Took BART and rode SF. Met up with some friends, old and new, at <a href="http://www.littleskilletsf.com/">Farmerbrown's Little Skillet</a>. Then headed to the <a href="http://www.chromebagsstore.com/">Chrome store</a>.<br />
