I flew out to San Jose, CA last Sunday and was picked up by my sister and brother in law. They very generously provided me with a spare bedroom and a desk from which I could sleep and work during the day (mostly on an East Cost schedule) while hanging out with my Dad in the afternoons and evenings. We’ve lost several relatives this year and it is important that I got to spend this time with him (and of course my sister and brother in law to whom I am extremely grateful for feeding and hosting me this week).
My dad and I hung out in the evenings, working on a puzzle and watching football.
My sister took Dad and I to Fremont Peak, which is something I had not been to before. Great views from the top of Monterey Bay and all the land leading up to it.
While I was here we needed to do some standard Santa Cruz things such as visit the “frozen surfer” (reference to Han Solo frozen in carbonite) with the surfer memorial bench next to it.
I’l be heading home tomorrow, back to good ‘ol Georgia. It’s been a great visit but I’m ready to go home.
