For once, I was the one leaving Alan behind in Atlanta, heading off to California to visit my friend Jenn who had a week off from work and needed a playmate. We are currently up at Sea Ranch at Jenn's Mom's house, which is beautiful. It's a lovely area, right now under its customary morning fog. We hope to have a bit of a hike along the coast in a bit. For now, coffee beckons.
On our way up, we stopped in San Franciso to see the Chihuly exhibit at the de Young. It was a kind of retrospective of his work over the last 25 years. I particularly liked some pieces that were inspired by Indian baskets. Those didn't photograph that well, though.
Jenn's daughter is currently in Beijing playing with her high school band as part of the festivities. Sounds like the Chinese are being rather restrictive with their activities, including not allowing them any audiences for their performances at Tianamen Square and the Great Wall. Not surprisingly, when allowed out for the women's soccer match between China and Sweden, they rooted for Sweden. :-) Unfortunately, China won.
These are some shots from last night's sunset.
