San Jose

We were in San Jose last weekend. Kurt and I were fortunate enough to meet the Garcia family while in Colombia. Rosa is one of the coordinators for KidSave in the bay area. Paola was 14 when Zeke and Rosa adopted her. So I guess that means that Paola and Lucy are Colombiana "sisters" so to speak. Lucy loves Nico and Paola
(Zeke and Rosa too). She followed them around all weekend. There is a special bond between the 3 of them. I hope they are life long amigos.

This was Kurt and my first time in CA! The sun was a welcome sight after all the rain we've had here in MN. As you can tell by the pictures, we had a GREAT time.

On Saturday we went to San Francisco. The Golden Gate bridge is amazing. Pictures really don't do it justice. It is massive! Then we headed for the wharf where we had some terrific crab sandwiches for lunch. We went over to ghirardelli square for some dessert, or should I say supper.

Sunday we went to the boardwalk in Santa Cruz. Paola and I rode on a 103 year old wooden roller coaster. FUN! We had carnitas for dinner, muy muy rico!

I don't think I touched a vegetable the entire time we were there. Gotta love Mexican food. The picture of Lucy stuffing her face with Pan Dulce speaks 1000 words.

Good weather, good food and good friends. Thanks for a fantastic time familia de Garcia!

Smooch
