Pilipino Day #1
Got an email from Sandy… Hi hun, So far so good. Everyone met me at the airport, including Pinky who jumped between departure and arrival terminals just to see me before flying out to Hong Kong.

Patty’s Place
Tonight we went up to the hills of Oakland to Patty & Tom’s place for dinner. The food & wine were excellent, the conversation even better. Of course I had to torment Christine the cat with my camera. I forgot to photograph Willie the Corgi/Golden Retriever mix when he did his tightrope trick.
Angel Fish Food

A Lovely Lunch

Yankee Pier
Had a nice lunch with Jon today at Yankee Pier in Santana Row. I had the Scallop Risotto special, very yummy! Jon had some boring salad.
