Travel, etc.

Hard to deal with bright lights indoors. Bad since we no longer keep the lights as bright as we did a year or more ago. Even worse is trying to make things out when I'm outdoors. Sunlight reflecting off of cars is a true monster. It fills every bit of my sight and nothing else can be seen. Kept the dark shades and a huge hat on the entire time that we were outside.

Today we wandered around San Francisco. Did a lot of walking and just fell in love with the city. The buildings with many paint colors were easiest to make out. Took a lot of photos with the iPhone. When I get home and load them onto the laptop I will be able to see them on the big tv. 

We went to a park across from mission high school, travelled up to twin peaks. Saw a lot of people without clothes. The temperatures were perfect for going without anything on. Spent a lot of time in the SOMA
Neighborhood. We ate some terrific Mexican Food. Went over the Bay Bridge, looped around and returned to the city via the Golden Gate Bridge.

I got to see my stepson's dance studio on Howard Street. Neat, neat place. Their living quarters have a huge clothes closet that I literally drooled over. They've been there a couple of years now, and I can easily tell the hard work and dedication that he and his fiancé have put into the place.

We're back at our hotel, listening to Arkansas play the Aggies. Our room is lovely. Beautiful furniture, every luxury, a bed that is to die for. I will be buying a down comforter like the one here when we return home. Possibly similar bathrobes as well. Not just for us, but for the guest apartment as well.

I bought a piece of art this afternoon. It's of Bela Lugosi, done in acrylics on wood. Not sure why, but it appeals to me in a weird way. Anyway, it will look strange anywhere I end up hanging it, and that almost convinced me to not purchase it. Still, I really like it and now it's mine. I will make a place for it.

So, the guest apartment remodel has begun. The bathroom has a new toilet. Two new bathroom sinks have been ordered, they should arrive within a day or two of our return home. We will keep the one which works best in that space and return the other. Next is lighting, mirrors, storage and redoing the shower. Once that is finished I will pick out everything for the new kitchen. The entire layout will change. I would love to replace the sliding glass doors with French doors.

Enough for now......
