WHAT'D YOU DO TODAY?
Packed up camp and snuggled in tight for another 5+ hour drive on the road. Lots of Amy, Tyler the Creator, and various podcasts.
Drove through some spooky towns with some serious “Scooby Doo murder mystery vibes” and found a cute lil cafe to post our journals about halfway to our destination.
Ate a ton of popcorn, more figs, and lost my left shoe. (Sahm, what?)
We finally made it to San Francisco! and had a lovely homemade meal from Dana’s family friend, Einat (what our stomachs desperately needed after almost non-stop snacking) and set up shop in Dana’s dad’s apartment. Figured out transportation logistics and other things concerning our interview tomorrow—suuuuper excited for that and our mini adventure in San Fran for the next few days!
HOW YAH FEELIN?
I've been feeling a little tired all day today, but I'm feeling good, especially because we'll get to stretch our legs and explore San Francisco for a tiny bit before we have to head out on the road again.
A sleepy sign off, but overall just super happy + grateful that I'm doing this absolutely wild Thing with Dana + Sam, ya'll are the best.

WHERE ARE YOU?
SF, CA
WHAT'D YOU DO TODAY?
Woke up to a mellow morning in our cozy tent. Tea, coffee, oatmeal, books, convos and our midge friends are some of the highlights.
Packed up and drove...a lot. I put some songs together for the road and am realizing my love for Amy Winehouse is greater than I thought (which was pretty damn high). Sorry guys (but not really).
First stop: Rest area. We did our 7 min workout because why not.
Second stop: Weed, CA. Quite a ghost town, or as Sam put it: a Scooby Doo Murder Mystery town.
Next stop: a pee break at a gas station. The bathroom smelled like a beach bathroom, it was awkwardly nostalgic.
Last stop: Einat's house! Where we ate a beautiful home cooked meal (thank you so much <3) and got to spend some quality time in a home away from home.
HOW YAH FEELIN?
Tired and present.

Drove
Sat
Ate too many snacks
The morning was actually really nice. Waking up in the tent, going through the slow and oh so pleasant camp breakfast rituals, chatting at our picnic table over some solid french press (thanks Sahm <3). Then we cleaned up and took off.
Next stop was the obligatory gas + coffee stop in WEED. which turned into a probably two hour detour between narrowly missing a haunting out at the old mercantile mall and trying to upload my stupid video turned gif for yesterday’s journal.
But it wasn’t too long before we were back on the road and the next real stop would be Dana’s family friends house for a lovely dinner (thanks Einat<3).
Then whole foods stop for some delish delishness and now we’re chillin in Dana’s dad’s monk hovel in San Jose.
HOW YAH FEELIN?
Feelin’ so grateful for all the amazing people that have made this trip possible from our parents, figuring out the cars, hosting us and packing us snacks <3 to Einat who provided us incredible dinner and company on short short notice to all those we’re interviewing who don’t know us in the slightest and are still carving out the time to meet the three of us hoodlums.
Love my ladies + all the people that have found their way into my life + this project. Thank you universe.
- super sappy happy sam
