Lots Going On This Summer!

So this weekend is a very special Pride with gay marriage back on the books for California and a glimmer of hope for the entire USA in the years to come. I’m having a big birthday (I find the fives are the hardest) on Tuesday, followed by a very long vacation that I’m getting very excited about to Vancouver BC (so my first time in Canada), Seattle, Iceland, London, Paris, Barcelona, Roma and Calabria, and maybe Germany and a few other European cities before returning in August for a long Lazybear Weekend in Guerneville. Did a lot of research on Iceland (which has a lesbian prime minister) today and I’m excited about being in 24 hours of light and seeing all of the “unearthly” things that environment has to show me.

All that and my daughter recently getting married and taking a honeymoon to Maui makes this one of the most monumental summers of my life.

Tour of San Francisco with Mom and Iolanda, stopping by Sebastien and Robert’s house

My Mom’s college friend, Iolanda DeLuca, was visiting from Italy. With my car I was able to cover a lot of ground with them in seeing some of the sites that were challenging for her to see by foot. She wanted very much to see Alamo Square, which I was able to capture at dusk here. We also stopped by Twin Peaks, Union Square and other spots, and went down the curvy part of Lombard Street. Mom and Iolanda are pictures here in my friends’ beautiful sitting room just before having the gorgeously prepared food that they cooked for us.
