3/18/10 (Friday): I'm back from San Francisco. I enjoyed my visit with my son and his family. We got a lot accomplished. I had forgotten how much stuff it's possible to keep in a house, and how much work there is to maintain one! We got a lot accomplished. But I'm really glad I live in my RV!The flight to San Francisco was noneventful. I enjoyed seeing the snow covered mountains (the Rockies?)It was also interesting to see the salt ponds as we landed in San Francisco.There's lots of work going on to get the house in shape for sale. The gardeners have done a fantastic job!
And the new fence is great.And the wildflowers on the nearby trails are spectacular!We took a break from all the work one morning and had a nice hike on the nearby trail.We also had a really nice dinner at a Japanese steak house. Austin actually likes sushi!

It's a little after-the-fact, but here are a few pictures from my visit with Stian (my young Norwegian cousin). My favorite part of the visit was our kayaking trip on Juniper Springs. There were lots of downed trees, sharp curves, and the current was very swift. This shot was taken after Stian successfully maneuvered around one of these obstacles.This is Stian taking a picture of a turtle and Tone waiting for him.
Tone and Stian posing under a palm tree.
This was the only alligator we saw--about 6 feet long.
I thought Stian looked a lot like my son, Mark. I don't have a picture of Mark at the same age, but check it out. What do you think?
That's it for this time!
