Philippine bound

Today after the girls came back from church, we ventured into downtown Alameda for a terrific brunch at Ćera Una Volta. Then we strolled the local shops on Park Street until it was showtime at the newly renovated Alameda Theater. We enjoyed Iron Man but I got a stomach ache from all the popcorn.

Our weekend with our lovely niece was over as Tawny left for the Philippines tonight.

Auntie Sachi retires

Last night, we were invited to a celebration for my Auntie Sachi at the Olympic Club in San Francisco. After 36 years as a school teacher, she has decided to retire. I got to see a side of my auntie I have never seen before… her professional persona. It was amazing to witness the outpouring of admiration and love. I have to admit I was brought to tears a few times. Congratulations, Auntie!

We decided to stay at the Prescott Hotel right across the street from the club which made it so much easier Friday morning.
