... with over our years of traveling has been trying to find good Sourdough bread - it doesn't exist east of Arizona, along with Italian dry salami and Artichokes. Well, Castroville is the Artichoke Capitol of the WORLD and we hit the mother lode. We found a stand selling artichokes. In fact you could purchase 10 for $1. They are little, about fist sized, but really good. Who cares if you ...

I hope I didn't forget anything...;P

I've scheduled a Super Shuttle ride to SFO, and they're coming around noon. First I'll fly to Dallas, then Santiago.

Friday was "Inside Rainy Day" so on to downtown San Jose. All the time I worked in Silicon Valley in the early to mid 80's I don't think I've ever went to downtown San Jose - I guess my business or curiosity never ...

... in Uganda, and am doing much better. In fact, everything seems to be back to normal, and I'm just going to go into the doctor for some follow up. Very strange that I got malaria considering I was taking what are considered to be the best pills...Malarone. The only thing I can think of is that I started taking the pills about 8 hours late, or that I somehow missed a dose ...

Starting out at a stoplight on Las Posas Road on our way from the Pacific Coast Highway to U.S. Highway 101, I took advantage of the pause in driving to snap a shot of the cabbage growing in the roadside field. For the next several hours, we passed some beautiful terrain as the weather made its will be known over the hills we passed. Beautiful light and spectacular clouds kept us company on our journey north to San Francisco.

... from out of the crowd. It was a raucous affair, fitting for a university that for a time didn't award grades to its students. The campus itself sprawls on the hills encompassing golden pastureland and deep redwood forests. Signs warn of mountain lions in the area. The guest speaker made the usual jokes about relaxed UCSC, offered the usual inspiration words, and then concluded with a more focused, direct message. for those considering their futures, and what to do ...

... veía un poco como una versión muy diluida comparado con Tailandia y Malasia, pero independientemente de su autenticidad está entretenido para chacharear. Típico duplex SanFranciscano. A poco no son bonitos? A mi primera noche, hice un amigo: Joe, que se auto-proclamó buen samaritano. Decidió que para hoy lunes -Labor Day-, él me iba a llevar a turistear, lo que a mi ...

... the bars over flowing with drunken Americans - and ended up getting wasted back at Lizzie's and Jay's, up until 4 am. A rare occurance in the US (due to the age limit...oops!) Needless to say some embarrasing photos, and even more embarrassing video footage will follow... The Next Day, we set off (Charlotte with a hangover from hell, helped by good old McD's) to Sonoma, to sample the fantastic Sonoma Jack cheese, and check out the western style ...

I finally made it to San Francisco this afternoon. The drive down from Lake Tahoe to Sacramento took us from over 7000ft to near sea level in 150 miles. After lunch in Sacramento we pushed on to Berkeley, where Soojin and I stopped at a cafe and looked at all of our digital pictures on my laptop computer ...
