I got an AirBnB across the Colorado River fairly close to downtown. My hosts are great. Looking forward to the next days. Surrounded by great restaurants.

I am going to Austin Texas for the NodeJS Interactive conference. Am looking forward to some great talks both on NodeJS itself and microservice architectures. Flying over night - saving one night of accomodation.

Hiking to the Pierce Point. We have seen something that looked like a fox and plenty of Elks. It is a scenic view along the coast.

With two friends of mine I wen to Berkeley. We started with downtown Berkeley and then made our way up to the university campus. We hiked all the way up to Lawrence Hall of Science from where we had an amazing view over the entire bay.

A very fun friend of mine from Covo with whom I shared a lot of great discussions on coding and code quality in particular invited me over for Thanksgiving. I felt very welcome. We talked a lot about politics. It is super interesting to see an American point of view on it.

I booked a tour for Alcatraz. My first time on a boat in the Bay Area. The weather was horrible - setting the perfect mood for visiting a prison.

A cowoker / great friend of mine from Covo invited me over for a friendsgiving at his place. Like the day before, great food and a great party in a beautiful house in Potrero Hill.

The coworking space I currently work at, Covo, arranged a friendsgiving for lunch. Everybody contributed to the dinner. We had plenty of food and a great time. My first friendsgiving.
