San Francisco

Portland

Ate at this suhi place and then went to see "The Stoning of Soraya M." with a few friends. Note: if you're going to see this movie. Eat first. You probably won't want to after.

kicking back... finally

Spent some time here on the lawn just soaking up the sun.

living room

beach

I meant to just go out and get something for lunch today but then I decided I'd just drive to the end of the street to see where it led. I ended up at the beach so I felt compeled to drive along the coast for a while to absorb the rays.

Trunk space

Is not one of the features of a lotus!
Oh well, I wouldn't take another car over it.
And away we go...

quick getaway

Step 1: Throw random stuff you might want in bags...

Step 2: Dress for the coming weather (not the current 45 degrees)

Step 3: Drive... (yeah, blue sky!)

technology

The iphone handily helped me find my way back to the rental car retun. I was able to take some surface streets after a missed turn (or two?), which helped since finding your way back to the freeway and then sitting on it isn't that fun in cali.  All the while it (the phone) kept me company with my favorite tunes ;-)

Everything worked out and I was just in time for everything (my flight) so there was no waiting around.  It was nice to sit down on the plane with nothing to do after the long day. By then even driving seemed like it took too much concentration.

But overall it was a most excellent trip. 

Having a blast

Why is everyone sitting inside??? It's so nice out here with the sun warming my back as I eat my sandwich. Yum!!!!!!!!!!!!
