But Leah's side looks and FEELS much better.<br><br>Then off to Logan via cab, Leah off to French class, big hugs, visit had gone too fast, she said. We'll see her in 5-6 weeks for Thanksgiving.<br><br>So the four-week trip is over, and epic it was. Highlights: seeing cousins I hadn't ...

... San Francisco". I understand where he was coming from! Today I traveled across town from Tera's (in Pacifica) to join Sally and Monica in Berkeley. After a quick look around their wonderful edible garden with Monica, Sally and I headed off for a few hours to explore the surroundings. First up, we headed to Caeser Chavez for a walk and enjoyed some of the local flora and fauna. My love for the squirrels was ...

... made peacfully, strongly and non disruptively. Now I'm not much of a meditator as such. I gave it a whirl in Thailand, and didn't really get into it, but this was a great experience.

... quickly bought a couple of cheap polar fleeces to wear on the open topped bus. We took a tour out over the Golden Gate Bridge - very impressive sight - but we couldn't see the tops of the towers because of the fog! It ...

... journey had already happened. It is strange to think that after all that work-sorting all of our stuff "out" to move and then sorting all of our stuff "in" for storage we cannot really just relax and enjoy being here. The upside to the lack of rest now is that the trip is right around the corner and we are taking our time with the travel part. It is incredibly exciting and we hope to virtually take many of you with us through our journey.

The first is that you get to visit amazing places, meet awesome people and do some crazy things and there is no one to tell about it, debrief with over how weird the people sitting across the room from you were, or how horrible the customer service / waiter was. The other is walking into a restaurant or cafe and stating the dreaded words "table for one please", people look at you as if you are a ...

... off in Australia. The big SF halloween celebration goes off in The Castro, the gay(est) part of town. Apparently there's lots of latex and kinky costumes and up to 200,000 people attended last year, but after 9 people got shot the city council shut it down. It would have been interesting to check out but instead we parked ourselves in a bar off Union Square and watched the passing parade of freaks. We sat and chatted with some locals who passed out candy to ...
