Bees!

Our final Southern CA noteworthy event comes with a story better told in person. It involves Bob and some local beehives that had been, unbeknown to their owners, taken over by killer bees... we'll let the pictures tell the story.













Notice the rapidly increasing number of bees - the end result was several hours trying to escape the bees, multiple stings especially around the ankles and 2 days of recovery while the swelling reduced enough to walk!

Interesting tidbit: a paste of baking soda and water helps reduce swelling when you don't have any clay handy.

Labor Day visitors

Our friends Logan & Heidi decided they needed a sun break from the SF summer fog, so flew down for the long weekend. I think we actually saw more of San Diego while they were visiting than we did the rest of our stay! We did introduce them to the joys of juicing and sent them home with a box of citrus, so they had a true taste of our life in SD.



We took them to the beach and the Farmer's Market, of course, then to the famous San Diego Zoo...









and to the USS Midway docked in downtown San Diego.



They also got to join us for our first (and so far only) trip south of the border for Sun. morning meeting - that was an amazing experience we heartily recommend... unfortunately we didn't take pictures.
