WE ARE IN AMERICA!

We flew into LA yesterday and hired a car to drive to San Francisco. It was a bit stressful for Chris, driving on the wrong side of the road but we made it safe and sound. Even though we enjoyed it, we were quite pleased to hand the car over to the rental car company.

Tonight we had dinner with my gorgeous friend Kate, aka Kate The Great, and hubby Bill. Kate is a penfriend from many years ago and lives about two hours from San Francisco. We have met a couple of times over the years and have become great, lifelong friends. We hadn’t seen each other for 15 years, so there was lots to catch up on.

We had such a great time, with almost non stop chatter and laughter. The clock turned back and we just picked up from where we left off – the sign of true friendship.

We have sadly just waved them off, with the promise that we will do our best to come back next year. And we will definitely try our best to do that.

We are in San Francisco for two more days.
