Today went again to the Ocean, with #5. I went on the trail, it took a lot of hours to walk, but it was great. I must place the pictures I did there. The day was perfect. I met friendly people and dogs..did I mention that I never have seen so many dogs in a city? I would name SF Dog city. People love animals here, dogs and cats are all around. I love this about SF. In two days I will be gone. I changed my plane ticket to pass 2 days in NY. Just for a glance and a feeling.I am already missing SF, my surprise city, simple and complex, with friendly people and dog lovers.

Day Eighteen- Exploratorium
I was obsessed to get there, I like experiments..but,it's good for kids to discover and parents to remind. Go better to Art Museum if you must choose.
It was agreat day for pictures though..nice sunset.
Something else I did was walking, of course..

Day Fifteen, Sixteen, Seventeen - Wine is all around
Durng the weekend we went to Napa and Sonoma Valley..for wine tasting. Impressive, good wine, good company and good tasting. More insights: chocolate & wine did you ever try? wow, that was good. I wasn't able to immortalize the moments..will keep it in my head only and it will die with me.
Have you heard of Calistoga? We didn't get there , but I read a lot about it. Maybe next time. Mud spa!

Day Twelve Japanese
I am in the second half of my stay starting today.
In the morning we went to Japanese Garden, a place to remember! Simple and complicated at the same time, generating deep insights.
Today for dinner we are supposed to meet some friends of my friend living nearby SF, for dinner, the other mother. Good to have a mother in every place, right? I was curious to meet them, I heard so many things about them.
Dinner was excellent, with a great laugh, good food as usual

Day Eleven Hot day
Today it will be hot, so I decided to go at the ocean..with the camera
I took the bus #5, which leaves you exactly at the ocean...few steps and you are with the feet in the sand..so good, hot sand under the feet...delicious
The bus was really crowded, how nice it must be to have the beach nearby?

Day Nine - Broadway Show
It's a windy sunday and we got tickets to the Wicked at 2pm at the Orpheum Theatre. No parking place easy to find as usual and we got late (nothing new). The show was good, but I expected something else..this is the bad when you have expectation.
Quite evening and a great dinner at Destino, peruan specific.
Did I mention that I love to eat? Yep, I enjoyed it so much.

Day Eight by foot & Tea Time
This was a day for downtown..in China Town, by foot in two pairs :-)
On the way, I discovered a great tea bar, Samovar, must try it.
And I re-discovered tea and had the pleasures of tea testing..I see now TEA in a different special way, thanks to my best friend.

Day Seven SF
I don't know where the days are rushing..I feel the speed of time and I want to slow down..Today I got into contact with Shambala..I was like a child, fully open and prepared for anything or everything...was refreshingly free..my mind stopped at some point, I was watching and listening trying to get it all at once...I felt good and during the next moments, I don't know when, through my head went thousands of questions..I stopped listening and just watched the lips moving...it was peaceful on one side and I felt tension on the other side..so many questions..
how many people were new there? how many people came?how many had friends? how many came just to be?how many came for answers? what are the answers they are looking for? what is this community? what do they want to learn?am I fitting to now and here?why am I here?what is my lesson of today?am I here now?
Berkeley was good.
Could it be because it was day 7?

Day Six SF
New day, different me...I started to become lazy, better without camera..easy to go shopping..time to check the bookstores. Contact with Borders..I believe I spend there about 4 hours and forget about myself and the time, I have to come back another day...
I received some recommendation on movies to watch...started, but not finished...I just plan to see them another day when the weather will be less sunny...
I played with the cat...kind of relaxing :-) the SF cat.
