Nous, on etait parties tot pour prendre des photos des alentours, car c'est tres beau; c'est le quartier des arts, dont l'opera, le building Civic Center et autres. Donc on s'est promenees pendant 1h, et le dimanche, c'est aussi le jour du Farmers Market au UN Civic Center. Donc, j'ai achete un plat d'amandes aux framboises.

Il etait midi. Mais en sortant, ca allait mieux. Pendant qu'on etait a l'interieur, il y a eu une averse. J'ai ... read more

Today we fly to San Francisco via LAX with Alaska Air. Enjoy the last CM lunch before catching a cab to the airport. It has been such a great trip. Just as well we are leaving- my body is hurting in all sorts of odd places- you know those tiny little intercostal ones for instance (AKA Trapeze Muscles!). The flights are comfortable, we clear customs in LAX with absolutely no queue and no fuss. This would be a great way to enter the US next time- seriously no queue and a pleasant experience (? how is this possible?? the usual terminal is nightmare and takes >hour. Ultra boring few hours in LAX (we actually succumbed to the dreaded McDonalds- I still don't know what possessed us) before the SFO flight. Cab it to Ricks Apartment in ... read more

After getting adults off to the Fancy Foods we piled the kids in the truck and were off to Lucas Films then the Exploratorium. We had planned to eat lunch with Clayton at Lucas Films but he got busy with work so we just did a little walking and visiting. Fortunately we’d brought plenty of food so we were able to have a picnic. We got to the Exploratorium and for those of you who are thinking of visiting, across the street to the north is a parking lot, maybe a 5 minute walk. When we were there it was free. We found a picnic table close by and set out our food, fed kids then off to the Exploratorium. The Exploratorium is in what was the Palace of Fine Arts; it is an old building ... read more
