... trip years ago, artsy people living the free life with all kinds of 'interesting&#8217; people walking the sidewalks.<br><br>We get to the Oakland Marriott City Center pretty easily though it is rush hour traffic.

... and spent a large amount of time on the streets of the mission trying to figure out which bars toe visit. In case you know the area we did end up in Cassanova and later in the night I think it was Dalva that we went to,... but dont quote me. Regardless was fun night with Meghann as lovely as ever and likewise for Bill. At this point it's impossible for me to say anything bad about SF. And then there was today, which is drawing to an end... and again I still can't ...

... bay cruise to try and get closer to take some pictures. Only the fog was so bad that the captain said that even close up, you couldn't see anything and we instead detoured away from the fog under the Bay bridge and saw the baseball stadium... All very interesting in them selves but not really what I wanted.. When I got back to shore, the boat ticket had included a trip to the aquarium so I meandered around there trying to kill time.

We soon met our long lost cousin's fam- Evelyn ...

... one is clearly out of one's element. Each day seemingly shorter than the last, each night's sleep diminished by nervous stress we slowly eroded our confidence in having everything done in time for moving day. One stress after another for Rhett, who bought a new car and scrambled to get a hold of the title and sell the old car.....dmv hell. Precariously scheduling meetings with our friends and our final farewell party, while packing ...

I didn't expect being back to shock me but it did. It's hard to express and sort out all the thoughts and fresh memories crashing around in my head coupled with being back and trying to explain and share it and fit back into something here. I'm staying with my sister and her partner here in ...
