California Friends


    Our time in California was completely dedicated to the rigors of learning portuguese at DLI. Not kidding. We did manage to squeeze in some time with new and old friends. 
    Fellow Olmsted-ers Walt, Suzie, Nate and Annabel Reed were in Monterey with us. Eri and AB became insta-friends and lucky for Geoff and I (cuz we're choosy), we loved hanging out with Walt and Suzie. So we did so quite often. They moved to Spain and we hope to cross paths again soon -- we definitely count them as lifelong friends. 
    We also spent as much time as we could with "Silly Matt," Eri's new beloved and Brye's BFF from waaaaay back.
     And, we were completely spoiled by Vi, Al and Marlene each time we made our way to the Bay Area to see them and wonderful San Francisco.

Sand is better than snow!

Wine tasting with Matt. Eri recommends California reds. Full body, good tannin, hints of oak and blackberry.
Annabel wonders why Eri isn't just texting.
True friends eating cookies and swearing to each other they're not fat.
Matt and Eri wearing hats and up to no good.

We love Nana Vi!!

Eri and Nana Vi. The two sweetest gals in S.F.
You can call me Al.

Not even a picky (I mean really picky) eater can resist Marlene's cooking.
