The next morning, we got up bright and earlier – earlier than we would have liked thanks to the smoke alarm at the hotel. Marsha led the way PB090003 into Hobbee's where this gentleman PB090004 brought my tofu scramble PB090005 complete with their famous blueberry coffee cake and exceedingly strong cinnamon tea.

After a break, I went to Portal where they gave me this badge PortalBadge and let me in to see John Little PB090006 and hear about the exciting things happening there while drinking this water PortalWater My next stop was Network Appliances where this woman PB090007 was kind enough to give me this badge NetAppTKBadge so that I could see Tom Kessler PB090008 and drink this Snapple NetAppTKSnapple After finishing with Tom, I admired the company flags PB090009 and sculptures PB090010 before heading across the street to this establishment PB090011 where this gentleman PB090014 prepared coffee for Peter PB090012 and Marsha PB090013

We returned across the street to Network Appliances and got new badges NetAppDWBadge that let us see Dan Warmenhoven in a variety of poses, first in cardboard PB090015 then in front of the company's logo PB090016 and finally in front of their products PB090017 Along the way, I drank this water NetAppDWWater We left after dark and I followed their car PB090018 back to Palo Alto.

Friday morning, Kai Li PB100019 came to the hotel for breakfast. Being a real Silicon Valley type, he was required to make a call on his cell phone PB100020 during the meal. After the meal, it was time to say good bye to the hotel PB100021 and to the friendly valet parking attendant PB100022 so that we could go to building 3 PB100023 which is where the WebTV people PB100024 live at Microsoft's Silicon Valley campus. This woman PB100025 was kind enough to give me this badge MicrosfotBadge so that we could go to lunch at Phil Goldman's favorite Mexican restaurant. Phil PB100026 and Marsha PB100027 were kind enough to pose for pictures as I enjoyed the chips PB100028 and veggie burrito PB100029 After lunch, Marsha was nice enough to take the obligatory phone booth pictures PB100030 PB100031

My time in the Bay Area was almost over, so I brought the rental car PB100032 back to Hertz PB100033 and followed the signs PB100034 to the shuttle bus PB100035 to the signs leading to Gate 16 PB100036 . But first, I had to go through security PB100037 where this woman PB100038 was kind enough to ask me to try out my camera. Once at Gate 16, I queued up PB100039 so that this woman PB100040 could give me my boarding card PB100041 and I could prepare to board this plane PB100042 in the third group. When I got to San Diego, I was happy to see DanSyl PB100043 at the gate. We had dinner at which I drank this beer DanSylBeer and then called it a day.

The next day, Larry came to visit and brought too much light with him PB110044 Once we got him into a darker environment PB110046 it was also possible to greet Janet PB110045 and then we all sat down to lunch where the vegetables PB110047 were good and the soup PB110048 was even better. As you can see from the faces PB110049 PB110050 PB110051 and hands PB110052 of those gathered, everyone was too busy enjoying the meal to put on their favorite smile. When we finished, there was one lonely piece of potato kugel PB110053 left. This inspired Larry to try his hand at photography taking pictures of Janet PB110054 PB110055 PB110056 PB110058 Sylvia PB110057 and even me PB110059 PB110060

After lunch, we decided to play bridge. I spent a lot of time with my cards like this PB110061 acting the part of the dummy. And my score PB110062 showed it. Larry got us into his car PB110063 and we headed to La Jolla to look at the apartment PB110064 complex PB110065 where Dansyl are planning to move. The place even has PB110066 valet parking. The agent led us into the apartment PB110067 which unfortunately gets light and noise from the portico PB110068 but has a beautiful shower PB110069 and nice closets PB110070 where you could take a picture of yourself off the mirrors. The kitchen had opportunities for great photographic effects PB110071 PB110072 PB110073 Next we took the elevator to floor 21 where the view of the Mormon church PB110074 is something to behold as was the dining room PB110075 which was overseen by these pleasant waiters PB110076 PB110077

Next we headed off to see Aunt Anne PB110079 and Uncle Irv PB110078 and Robin and Linda PB110080 Once we were all assembled, we went downstairs for dinner. Everyone else recommended this mixed drink PB110081 so I tried it. Larry PB110082 Janet PB110083 Linda PB110084 Anne PB110085 Rob PB110086 Dan PB110087 Sylvia PB110088 and Irv PB110090 all enjoyed being served by Nicole PB110089 our waitress for the evening. Sylvia's fish PB110091 was more photogenic than my portabella mushroom lasagna and so it is the final picture I took on the trip.
