Hah! I think I lived here in a previous life.
Anyway, I do feel comfortable here but it's just a quick in and out trip this time but always time to visit my favorite little shops in Japantown. I feel like I single-handedly need to keep the economy here alive.
Now, I'm off to Seattle. Of course, Seattle is terrific but since I don't go to San Francisco as often, there's more of a sense of discovering old memories. Seattle doesn't really rain quite as much as lore will have it. When the sky is blue, it's beautiful here. Otherwise, it's just gray.
The Seattle Art Museum is very nice. I was able to catch the Impressionism show just before it closed. Very thoughtful presentation. The rest of SAM definitely had a Northwest flavor with a typical Seattle chauvinism towards its own.
I'm enjoying spending time with my father while my mother visits her sister and brother in the Midwest. (Note to Alisa: When John, Darlene and Nolan stopped by, I made rice and beans, plantains, and locro de papa -- Ecuadorian potato soup which we all enjoyed.)
I caught a couple of sets of my cousin Russ' gig in one of his rock bands. Yes, we're all a lot older but rock and roll keeps us young.

mmm... locro. i'm glad you didn't have yaguarlocro tho... it's a variation that contains all sorts of unidentifiable animal parts.
the food in peru seems to be fried. we've been taking advantage of the communal kitchen in the hostel. tomorrow morning we're going to meet the fisherpeople as they bring in the morning catch. 7am!
rock on!
So I couldn't help but notice that the last time you wrote in your blog was September 22nd. You've done so much since then! You're probably extraordinarily busy: I hope all's going well! You may have already been informed, but you have been invited to the Christmas Cookoff that the Conroys seemed to have picked up as a tradition! Anyhow! See you soon, no?!
