California Dreamin'

California brie and pears, ladies and gents.

I want to live on the west coast. I love the people, I love the landscape, I love the culture.

I went for a drive (in my fun rental car described in post chatter below) when I got in. Had some good Thai food in the business district. I parked and meandered til I found something that looked good. I then drove the Fruitvale area. Interesting international area. I'd like to eat some mexican there. Taco trucks everywhere! I stopped at an ethnic food mart to pick up some snacks for our room. The strawberries are effing outstanding.

I went on a power walk along the marina that runs by our hotel. It was chilly (windy) yet relaxing. The native plants in the park (there are so many city parks!) were gorgeous.

Tonight we asked our shuttle driver for a food recommendation in Jack London Square. He recommended Yoshi's. We had a FABULOUS sushi dinner.

So I'm full, my boss will be arriving soon and I should get some sleep. Til tomorrow...

Sounds like a great day. Think you could convince Chris to give up his John Deere and move west to the city? *grin*

*snort* They could load up the John Deere and drive it there.

Mmm, I love brie cheese. And I love California. But not enough to give up DC. :)

I love the west coast! All of it - from Vancouver Island to big bad LA. I can't wait until my next visit! Plus, I know a few more people to say howdy to too!

*head tilt* I'm confused. I thought you were going to be here in May?
