25th and 26th May



Two days when we've chilled out. Even so we seem to have fitted in a lot of shopping, eating and walking. No photos from yesterday because we didn't do a whole lot other than go to this restaurant called the Cheesecake Factory. It looks like a huge Eygptian temple and apparently is part of a chain right across the country.

Today we drove around Danville and Walnut Creek, two 'exclusive' little towns just outside San Francisco and close to Diablo. Danville is very old and has some nice individual shops and a kind of 'stage coach' feel to it. Walnut Creek has a Macy's and every other shop you can imagine and we very carefully avoided spending any money.
It was also Erin's birthday today (Hap's niece). She is 12 today. We went out for pasta at her favourite Italian pasta house and then home for Lemon birthday cake and she opened her presents.We take off for Santa Cruz at lunchtime and then, hopefully, Yosemite over the weekend. We have tickets to a show on Friday night. Not sure what because Christine, our hostess in Santa Cruz, bought them but I will report accordingly when I know.


Love to all. Soon be home again - flying back next Tuesday, so not long now. Hoping Jacob has managed to do the washing up!
