The next day, I took one last look at the wine bottle they had given me after the talk (because it would not make it through airplane security)
and then headed out tot he Golden Gate bridge (San Fracisco's other icon)
with Jacobo
who took these pictures of me against that backdrop
before we looked out at Alcatraz
and back at the city
at the islands of Marin County
and views of the bridge
before we noticed that under this splash
was a bird (the blue parrot)
and after a final good bye to the bridge, we were off to the airport.
Once on my flight, I had this wine and nuts
and salad
and roll
before pausing to take close photos of the labels
and individual salt and pepper shakers
and then having water
a vegetarian main course
and dessert before heading home
where steaks were cooking
because Janet (who took a few photos to focus)
and Larry had arrived
and so there was cheese
salad
and vegetables
to amuse Suzanne
Ben
and me
before dessert came.
