The restorative powers of a little R&R are quite amazing. We're back from our sojourn on the west coast, and although it's nice to sleep in one's own bed, I am missing San Francisco already. (Although today's weather seems reminiscent of the foggy Bay Area...perhaps we'll take some comfort in that.)
Had a really wonderful time, as I'm sure you're all dying to know. In a nutshell, we did a lot of walking around some new neighborhoods, enjoying the architecture, the shops, the lush, green parks (what a joy to grow flowers all year round!). Took a day trip up to Sonoma, where we've never visited and experienced the calm serenity of the wine country and its beautiful, rolling hills. Also spent a day in Berkeley, soaking in the beautiful blue-ness of that college town. (BTW, it was nice to still see so many "Kerry-Edwards" bumper stickers on cars and buildings around town.)
Unfortunately, our little hotel did not have internet access in the rooms, so I couldn't keep in touch as I planned, but perhaps that's a good thing, eh? Good to give all of us a little break. If anyone's interested in a recommendation for lodging in SF, I recommend the Laurel Inn -- felt like a little apartment, not a hotel, very quiet and had free parking!
Gonna post some sample pictures here shortly, and I'm working on a way to share more of them if anyone's interested in seeing them. Took lots of images with the new camera...many turned out really well (if I do say so myself).
So, while it was great to be away, it's nice to be back here on the blog. More pics coming up!
