So I am trying to remember the last time I was in Calfornia. I am pretty sure that the last time I was in San Francisco (ok, so i'm not there yet, later today) was 1997. I remembering visiting Daniella during her junior semester "abroad" in San Francisco. That was in the fall, junior year, so i believe that makes it 97. So I've never seen it in its dot-com expensive yuppy glory. So nine years ago.

I might have been in california the next year as well. Brooke came back from her year abroad in Finland -Brooke, can you help me out here - which I believe would be 1998. We drove down to California and did a big road trip to San Diego, as well as LA and Yosemite where we stole away my friend Liz and took her to the island. Drive back via Eureka and Eugene OR, where I dented the Silver Bullet.

Anyway, it's somewhat humid here, but it's also the lowlands! I miss mountains and high altitude, although I know that my blood oxygen levels are sky high here and I could probably go run some marathon or something. Ok, so probably not.

We're staying with John and Angie in San Mateo - it's fun to see them - John used to work with Nathan at "the cow" in ABQ. Now we get to see them in their native element, this "bay area" place we heard so much about from them. And their cat Sophia luvz me so so much - she gave me a big eskimo cat kiss.

Oh yeah, if by any chance any of you who live in the bay area read my blog, email me. I'm leave pretty late on Monday. This would be specifically directed at Kirstin, Rachel W (rather, Rachel L now), and Paula. And Suzie, and whoever else i know who lives here!!!
