Although this post is way overdue, I wanted to note, in true Sound of Music style, a few of my favorite things and moments from my California trip a few weeks ago (in no particular order):
1) Staring at the sublime expanse of the Pacific Ocean while listening to Andrew Turnquist's album, As the Twilight Crane Dreams in Color (and tearing up from all the overwhelming beauty)
2) Stopping under the only tree in Nevada
3) Winding down the darkest road before seeing the brightest shooting star of my life
4) Eating several banh mi sandwiches, especially from Saigon Sandwich
5) Watching the pelicans and crabs in tide pools at Stinson Beach
6) Buying art from Stephanie and Adam's kids, James Geronimo, Jupiter, and Justice Everylasting (their artworks now adorn my living room)
7) Eating a pork sandwich at Dolores Park and watching a guy intensely juggling his 'balls' (hehe)
8) Playing on one of over forty vintage pinball machines at Lucky Ju Ju's
9) Ginger ice cream from BiRite Creamery in the Mission (several times)!
10) Camping in Big Sur and viewing the waterfalls, more shooting stars from inside my tent (sans rainfly), and visiting the Henry Miller Library, and eating at Deetjen's (best eggs benedict and cozy atmosphere in a renovated barn)
11) Soaking in Escalan hot springs during the middle of the night
12) Sitting beside the Russian River and watching overly tanned folks baring terrible tattoos
13) Visiting old friends in Sebastopol and eating the best scones ever
14) Driving down Hwy 1 and seeing more ocean than sky
15) Eating sumptuous Indian food at Vik's in Berkeley with Nagila and Courtney
