Bay Area Amigos

We swung through the San Francisco Bay Area again and got to spend some quality time with a few folks.

First, our good friend JenMo met us in Tomales Bay for a night of camping. A cold, windy night of camping.  On the way, Jason decided that the blackberries were worth risking the pain of the stinging nettle, and collected some for our breakfast. No nettles this time.

We cooked up some fish and greens and then spent the evening warming up by the campfire. It’s been a while since we’ve had company while camping, and it was great to catch up with a friend.

We also met up with Bel, Jeremy and Pablo in Santa Rosa. We met these guys way back in Paraguay. Not only did they give us an authentic look at Paraguayan culture the first time, but they even put up with us a second time in the U.S. Thanks, guys!

And, I got a chance to catch up with one of my best pals for a super-urban gal weekend. We coffee’d, we walked, we people-watched, we ate and we ended each day with champagne. Not bad, not bad at all.

We got to visit with other friends, but we still didn’t do a good enough job of planning and had to miss some folks. We’ll catch you the next time around!
