What did we do??
My goodness………. Two weeks was certainly NOT enough time! The main reason for our visit was the
festivities around our friend (my Sissy) Yvonne’s 60th
birthday. We won’t bore you with all the
details, but here is the list of things we did and pictures too.
-Stayed with different friends and got to spend quality time
with loved ones
-Visited friends around the Bay and in Half Moon Bay.
-Went to Quinn’s Lighthouse for pirate night, more good
friends and our favorite sea chantey band
-Went to our friend Petra’s birthday dinner
-Went to San Francisco in a limo for Yvonne’s birthday dinner
and then saw Beach Blanket Babylon
-Went to a birthday brunch the following day in Los Gatos and a
wine tasting
-Went to a surprise birthday party at one of the neighborhood
friends home
-Spent a day in San Francisco with lunch at the Cliff House
and Pier 39.
-Visited our Yacht Club in Half Moon Bay and got to spend
quality time with friends and loved ones there
-Had lunches with former work mates
-Went to Cash Creek with Ciska V
-Had dinner at our favorite sushi place in Alameda, Yellow
Tail (twice)
-Shopped for all kinds of things we wanted to take back to
Mexico
It was odd to wear lots of clothes. It was odd to drive a car after 10 months of
no driving. We slept great!! I think I
only sweated once. It was WONDERFUL to
see those whom we were able to see and sad not to be able to do everything we
would have like to have done and see everyone we would have liked to have seen.
Thanks to all who put us up for the night, thanks for all the
good laughs, good times, good food and for sharing your love and friendship
with us as always! Now……. Who’s coming
to visit Mexico next??
This week we are preparing to head back up into the Sea of
Cortez for the next couple of months. We
are going to try it and see if we can handle the heat. If we cannot handle the heat, we will
probably get a studio apartment for the remainder of Aug and Sept. It is HOT HOT HOT even as we write. The temperatures have been in the high 90’s
to over 100 degrees with a heat index of 107+ degrees. We are trying to change our habit patterns to
do work in the morning or late evening and take cover in the mid-day hours. It is hard to change, but necessary! We both like to lounge around in the morning
drinking coffee/tea, computering and reading but we simply must change our
ways. I had to order eye glasses for
distance and reading. I found that when
I was home driving I couldn’t read the street and road signs! Ack!
When we get those, we will be heading into the Sea.
When we leave for the Sea again, we will not have
communication abilities, so you may not hear from us for weeks at a time. Have a great rest of the summer! Be safe in your travels and please do stay in
touch. We love to hear how you are doing
and what you are doing. Kisses &
Hugs!
