City Sunrise

I was on my way to the gym this morning at 06:30 when I got the distinct feeling that today would be a beautiful day!

We had friends staying in the city this weekend and today, after a trip to Sausalito for lunch, we strolled around Golden Gate Park. It was a great opportunity to do some more photography and enjoy the sunshine

And So To Bed To Dream

As the evening closed in so did the cloud cover. As the sun went down I sat and watched from my apartment window, how the sky turned into a dreamscape.

You can just make out the mountains in Marin which are across the bay on the east side. If it was less cloudy you would be able to make out one of the towers of the Golden Gate Bridge. Maybe I'll take another picture of that sometime. Goodnight and sweet dreams!

Lock Stock & Barrel

We had a lazy day today and just wondered around the neighborhood. We popped in to the new luxury chocolate shop just opened 2 weeks ago and had a chocolate drink and bought some truffles to take home. When we got home, we checked the post and found this:

We now have the deeds to our place in Belize which means we now own it completely outright!! So now we have legal proof that we do OWN our slice of paradise in the Caribbean.

Those truffles certainly came in handy this evening - along with a nice glass of red wine.

Another Milestone

Today was our 10th wedding anniversary and 19 years together. After exchanging gifts and stuff we drove up to the wine country.

There is a lovely winery just outside of Sonoma and it was here we spent the afternoon on the terrace and drinking champagne which I must say was rather civilized.

The weather was gorgeous so we cruised around in the car with the top down with nowhere to be and no special time to be there. It was so nice and relaxing and felt very "Californian" indeed.

On the way home we crossed the bay on the Golden Gate Bridge which even though we see it regularly, it's always spectacular to be actually crossing it.
