Backing up a day

On Saturday we drove up to San Francsico to spend our 40th wedding anniversary weekend with Monique and give her some help with her new apartment. We ate at her favorite restaurant, Chow http://www.inetours.com/Pages/Dining_Archive/Chow.html If you go there, opt for the garden room in the back. We ended the day sharing a bowl of popcorn, watching samurai movies.

Sunday, Oct. 21 we awoke to a red/orange dawn over San Francisco. Monique's new view looks southeast with a clear view of the city. It was an absolutely beautiful, warm SF day--the kind that makes you sing along with Tony Bennett, "I left my heart in San Francisco."

I stumbled into the kitchen to make some French press coffee with special grains my daughter left for us before she headed out to sell stuff at the flea market. After we got ourselves in gear, we headed over to Katz bagels http://www.yelp.com/biz/v2oFK-_qhtT50t9KBDgPEw to get some breakfast bagels and more coffee, then on to the flea market to "help" Monique (although she had already set up) with her friend. The endeavour was going nicely, as you can see.











Sunday night I chose one of my favorite restaurants, Eric's http://erics.ypguides.net/ We ate our fill and took home lots of leftovers.

On Monday we went out to breakfast at Crepe Vine http://www.yelp.com/biz/crepevine-san-francisco then took off to spend the beautiful day on the coast. We stopped at the Marina and took a few pictures of the Golden Gate and the Bay, tooled around reminiscing about how things have changed since we lived there in the 60's and 70's and after a light lunch at Fuzio http://www.fuzio.com/ we headed south.






So began our journey that started this blog.
