I left my son in San Francisco...

We spent our first week in Sacramento. We are living with our daughter and son-in-law while we decide, where in Sacramento we want to live? Carrie is having some serious health issues and needs an operation in the next few weeks.
Caren has been a great nurse to her as Carrie has been “bedridden” for the past few weeks and is experiencing some major pains and discomforts.

Our son Jonathan took the train up Friday and spent the evening on the couch. Saturday morning we took him and went for a visit to San Francisco. San Francisco is one of our favorite cities in the world.








I don’t think we would enjoy living there, but we sure enjoy visiting it. We went to China Town and then spent the afternoon at Japan Town. We planned on eating at Benihanna’s but they didn’t open until 3 p.m. so we had an hour to visit the shops before dinner.




After dinner Jonathan had always wanted to see Haight & Ashbury Streets where the hippie movement of the 60’s began so we drove over there. There were still some old hippies there but most of the newer ones wear designer clothes…lol



Then it was on to the tourist stops of “driving down Lombard Street”, visiting Pier 39 and Fisherman’s Wharf and the Embarcadero. Then it was just a short drive across the Bay Bridge to Emeryville where Jonathan boarded the train to head back to San Jose, where he lives.

Then the drive back to Sacramento for Caren and I, appreciating that we have great kids, who enjoy being with us, and we can be with them more now that we are living closer.
