Sienna and I met Jeff downtown for lunch last week to try to catch a glimpse of the Olympic Torch. Instead we saw lots of people, lots of Chinese flags, and lots of Tibetan flags and signs. Of course we did not see the torch, but we tried and were happy the torch bearers were safe and able to run with the torch. My favorite part was being in the Justin Herman Plaza (where the relay was supposed to end) and hearing a rock band perform with a group of people performing tai chi right in front of them. Such a contrast between east and west!This is a picture of our view from our front room in our apartment. I love this time of year when our neighbor's wisteria blooms. It only lasts a few weeks, but I know it is spring when I start seeing purple blossoms pop out. I also love being able to see the Golden Gate Bridge from our place. We are so lucky to live in a beautiful city and have a great view!And, finally, another reason I love living here: those few, rare days out of the year of warm weather. San Francisco transforms into a beach town when temperatures hit the 70's. We spent the weekend at the beach enjoying the sunshine and warmth where the temps hit 78 degrees! That's unusual for here, but we soaked it up!
