Hey Anika, cool you're coming to my area I live in the mountains an hour from SF, I prefer to avoid crowds usually. I have done the drive down the coast and it is really beautiful. I think you will find it very spiritual!

Have you tried the e-cigarette? I've heard good things about it. They sell one in the 7/11 stores that costs about $7 and is supposed to be equal to 2 packs of smokes.

Regarding food, it's fairly easy to find healthy and vegan foods around here. Very hippy yes like Confused was saying. I remember Oregon being hippied-out too.

The city of SF is really cool and unlike any other. I think you will like Golden Gate Park, there is a wonderful botanical garden and a Japanese Tea Garden really nice to meditate at!

I spent some time in the city a month or two ago when last time my son was in the hospital, St Mary's, he said it was the nicest one he'd been to out of the five in the past year. They did yoga with the kids, I thought that was really nice

Just enjoy I think this trip will be fun for you and your boyfriend. Oh- and maybe don't sleep in your car in California. I've gotten in trouble for that before. But I think it's cool in Oregon
