Decided to take a trip back to Cali. Flew out yesterday, plane got in about a half hour early, and, I sat next to the (now retired) CEO of The Container Store! And I had just gone there last week! It was a great opportunity to have a conversation with him – definitely the highlight of my flight out!
While we were waiting to board, Kenn was looking at some artwork in PHL:
And then he was happy to be in good ol’ San Fran:
I picked up the rental car, stopped by my old house, and then drove over the hills to El Granada where I am staying with my cousin. Unloaded my stuff, then got some takeout Indian food. Yum! After that, just chit chatted until bedtime.
This morning I got up, did some stuff on my computer and then went for a walk to check out my new hiking shoes. My cousin’s house is about a mile up a pretty steep hill (I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned this in previous posts) and I wanted to check to make sure the shoes fit all right and my feet wouldn’t be sliding around inside. Good to go!
Here are some photos:
Kenn saw some turtle friends along the way
And somebody knitted a nice cover for a street sign pole (there’s another one later in this post)
I decided to get a bite to eat at this place. Never been there before.
Oysters with sauv blanc
Abalone ceviche
Then I thought I better work some of these calories off, so walked along the coast:
My cousin’s house is up in those trees somewhere
I liked the sentiment on this memorial: “Show up be kind”
Another sign post ‘cozy’
Anyway, that’s about it for today. The weather here is glorious and everything is green because of all the rain!
Talk soon!
