Its been a while since my last post.
Happy Birthday Sam! (Sorry, I forgot to wish it on the day). How did the party go?
Well I have been over to my Cousin's lovely place in Morgan Hill for the last couple of nights. What a fantastic property, and view over the California valley's and hills. (The garage is a triple American garage - I want one! - which could contain 6 Tahoes with ease. That's the approximate volume of Lake Mead). And what a lovely family! Putting us up (or putting up with us) for the last few nights, and taking us to San Francisco for a couple of days out.
Been all over in fact - did the Fishermans Wharf, Pier 39 thing (and gosh - even had a fish dinner! Well, Salmon steak) and also the California Academy of Sciences museum yesterday which was very interesting - complete with its own Planetarium, and 3-D film about bugs. All 8 of us fitted in Dave's Tahoe with ease. We all layed out on our beds, in our separate rooms, and had a kip whilst the driver got us to our destination. His Tahoe has a snazzier grill, bigger wheels and micro-fibre seating! It made me miss my old Tahoe... sniff... I tell you what, it must have managed about 20 miles to the gallon on the way to SF and back - that's awesome! It is the most comfortable car in the world, the best designed car in the world, and everybody in the world should have one.
Today been over to Valley Fair mall and bought some things. Well someone has to restart the California economy, and Abercrombie & Fitch were charging enough to do just that. Valley Fair is roughly the size of a small country. Like England. Although the weather is better at Valley Fair, and it doesn't rain. But then it doesn't rain much in San Jose.
This evening went out sippin' Mojitos by the beach at Rio del Mar with Auntie June and Uncle Ken. Sam and I did this in '06 and got rather drunk... so drunk in fact, that someone's front garden will never look quite the same again... (it went a sort of a yellow colour with orange bits...) Not today though! We're all sober as dasssirys.
