This particular adventure is almost over -3 months now seems to have gone by in a flash and when I think of where we have been, I can’t quite believe it!
SF was a great disappointment -I spent most of the time in the hotel in bed because I picked up
“something” on the flight over from London. I did go to my niece’s wedding though-and what a dream it was-she is beautiful to start with and looked like a 30s starlet-gracious and graceful - and add to that the wonderful Presidio overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge as the venue.
I must include these pics of my brother and sister-in-law’s garden.
The front garden is the best in the street and I have nothing with which to compare the back garden -but am sure it is also the best on the street-and they live on a very long street! I had intended to go to yoga every day -there is a great little studio down the road-but will have to let that pass by the wayside-gotta get strong and healthy for the flight back home and the classes ahead.
I love this part of California. It’s sunny and bright-green and gorgeous and the food…..besides the restaurants, I could just spend my days in Whole Foods, the supermarket! The fresh produce looks as if each piece has been hand picked and the numerous deli counters - an array of salads, hot cooked stuff and even a pizza oven in the middle of the store.
We went up to a winery on the top of a hill-about 2500ft above sea level-breathtaking views-on the way we stopped at a local deli/supermarket-just the array of “greens” made me green with envy.
Housemade blue corn crepes filled with fresh crab, shrimp & red snapper, poblano cream sauce, jasmine rice with roasted corn
Delicious delicious! Think I’ll now go on a Mexican kick when I get home!
Oh, and the desserts - cigarillos filled with a mango salsa sitting in a coconut cream with a delicious mango ice cream
I hope you have enjoyed our journey together. There was so much more I could’ve written about but was scared to bore you with my musings on the places we visited and the people we met along the way.
Update - Alan hss caught my cold! Enough said - I think it is time to say bye to all of you who followed us on this mid-life OE -hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
