Some of our friends

We haven't managed to get a group picture of our friends here in SF, but we do have a few nice photos nevertheless.

Year in Review

It's been quite a year, hence the long silence - maybe we'll just do a quick rundown of the highlights... They go back to Feb 23, 2009 "Back to the Park!" Yes they are backwards if you start from here! We got caught up when we got settled.

Finally - a place of our own!

The trial stay with JoAnne ended in mutual agreement - we just weren't suited as roommates. So after a short stay with a friend in Fairfax, CA - an interesting and very walkable town - we decided it was time for us to take the leap and get our own place!







We're now reunited with our belongings that have been residing in storage for 17 months and it's a little like Christmas in March... except we're transitioning from a 2 bedroom apartment down to a 1 bedroom so there's some downsizing to do.



Of course, it rained the day we moved, but luckily the sun came out the next day so we were able to dry things out on our porch.

Short trip down Hwy. 1

With spring comes the many, many flowers - especially the carpets of ice plant - along with the urge to go exploring for more.



This particular exploration took us south of SF, down Hwy. 1, past the Pigeon Point Light Station, many ocean views, Half Moon Bay, Santa Cruz and ended in Capitola. I enjoyed Capitola much more than the more commercialized Santa Cruz, but each to his own.
