Dan's Shorts

Sunday in Sunny Southern Cali

Yesterday was a bit more relaxed than Saturday :), we started the day with some room service breakfast (mmm mmm good), and then got cleaned up and drove to Oakland to visit a dentist Kris used to work with. Erik and Monica live in a posh neighborhood way up in the Oakland Hills, and their house backs up to a national park. There was a gorgeous view (I have some pictures) and had a great time visiting with them for a few hours. We got all caught up, met their 20 month old son Luc, and Monica is bursting at the seams with a new one on the way (due in 6 weeks she said). Hopefully we can keep in touch with them better in the future.

After that, we decided to take their advice on a restaurant recommendation. Instead of eating in dirty downtown San Fran, we shot over the Golden Gate (the temp drops by 10-15 degrees on top of the bridge brrrrr) and went into Tiburon. It's and fanshy as it sounds. Lots of huge houses on gorgeous hills. At the end of downtown Tiburon, there are a lot of touristy shops and nice restaurants. We ate at Guamay's, a shi shi foo foo Mexican restaurant, and sat out on the deck right on the bay (have some pics of the view from Tiburon to San Fran as well :). After that we browsed the shops a bit, but most were closed since it was past 5 on Sunday.

So we headed back to San Fran, this time with the top down, and you can really feel that 10 degree difference when you're going 45 with the top down :). And yes, Kris and I both want a Sebring now... damn nice car.

We came back to the hotel to a gift from one of my clients, chocolate covered strawberries, delicious oatmeal raisin cookies and a bottle of 1995 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne. A couple glasses of that stuff and you're out for the night :)

All in all, another enjoyable day in the life of Dan...
