vacation

is all i ever wanted. and i truly feel. is all i ever needed. after a slight delay on my second flight. i made it to san fran on thursday afternoon. it was wonderful seeing lemonade. her new home. the finster (puppy). and b. her fiance. she made me a welcome cake. which was beautiful. and so tasty. it was fun to see an orange tree on one side of their yard. and a redwood smack in the middle. with the constant breeze. a glass of wine on the porch was the perfect start.

on friday we woke up. refreshed and ready for a day in the city. after picking up brother from the airport. we drove to the golden gate bridge. down lombard street. and over to our hotel. it was then time to prepare for the festival. after chasing cabs. we found one and were on our way. as mentioned. there were 60,000 people in attendance. the most people i have ever seen. in one place. it was crazy. but everyone was very mellow. and there for the same reason. the music. food. drink. the experience.

brother left early on saturday. to get back to work. so we lost our photographer. for the saturday city touristy stuff. so here i am solo. we rode the trolleys. and went to the highest point in the city. and were disrupted at the labyrinth by a child. that needed to be reprimanded by his mother. he was old enough to know better. than to run like a mad man inside a cathedral.

the weekend ended too soon. of course. i was sad to leave on sunday. i would have loved to spend one more day. and that would have turned into another day. and another. we ended the trip with dinner out in the suburb where they live. yummy seafood. and then i became the reigning champ of uno.
