We're almost caught up...

Here's some photos from the last two weeks -- San Francisco, Monterey, none from LA unfortunately, and San Diego. Next post: the sun sets behind us.

Here we are in San Francisco (the Golden Gate bridge is actually behind us, but since no one was around to take our picture we had to do that annoying couple thing where we hold the camera ourselves -- forgive us)


This is a photograph of a Hanspree "lifestyle television" at their U.S. flagship store, which just opened in San Francisco. Although addicited to TV, I secretly hate it. This company is fast becoming my nemesis, as it makes me want desperately to own one of everything it makes -- included stuffed animal TVs. The woman at the store was quick to point out that their TVs are NOT marketed to kids, but instead to adults who want an "emotional connection" with their electronics. That would explain the Cinderella TV on a foot-high pedestal that only infants can see standing up.


At the world famous Monterey Aquarium -- jellyfish


Hanna tries to call up one from the deep in the Shark Myths exhibit at the aquarium


Foggy sunset, Big Sur


Route 1 makes you sick


Elephant seals! (They look dead, but they're actually tanning.)


Sunset at the Coronado Hotel's beach, where we celebrated our 4 month anniversary of the trip with pricey scotch


Hanna chatting with a statue at the San Diego museum of something or other


Playing Bacci at sunset (Hanna, brother Pete, and Pete's gal Toni). We went camping--our first time with other people!--on the beach just up the coast from San Diego.


Pete goes surfing in the morning. We watch from the cliffs.
