Another successful tour of the Bay Area has come to a close. My annual journey to see as many friends as I can over two weeks was good fun. Again, just about everyone seemed to be in pretty good shape. Not bad. And again, I left behind a string of crumpled bed linens and damp towels. You are all good for allowing me to do that. Thanks!
I went from San Francisco to East Bay (Albany) to Santa Cruz to Aptos to Carmel to San Francisco to Marin to oh darn I probably missed a few. It was good to catch up and fun to see how easy it is to slip back in. I had fabulous weather while I was there and everything there remains pretty familiar. (One of the ongoing themes was passport issues. Since it was summer, friends were preparing for departure to exotic lands. Because of the new rules that one needs a passport to fly to Canada and Mexico, the passport offices are hugely backed up. I heard horror stories at several stops. Get your passports early--like six months or more!)
Our annual Angel Island picnic (#26) was once again a resounding success. The next generation is getting older--though the older generation (myself included) remain young and vibrant--and they seem to continue to embrace this tradition. Funny how satisfying that is! We camped two nights with a changing line up of campers. A good time was had by all. I already have it on my recently purchased itty-bitty 2008 calendar: Angel Island #27 will be on June 21, the Summer Solstice.
