On the road...highlights from Day 1

After the uncontrollable diarrhea-like torrent of previous posts, I've been taking it easy on blogging since we are on vacation right now...

Currently we are in Pebble Beach, staying with my Ninang ("godmother") and her husband. Earlier today, they took us to Carmel for breakfast and the Mission Carmel (where the #1 abuser  of Native Americans in the name of Catholicism, Junipero Serra is buried), as well as a mini redwood forest near the small town of Felton (heh, as in Tom Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies), and Santa Cruz.

Oh, the posts will definitely be pouring like cats and dogs in a few weeks or so...Just you wait.

But I can't leave this post pictureless so here's a few to whet your appetite...

Highlights from Day 1 (we are currently on Day 5):

"Excuse me, have you seen this boy?" (line from "Terminator 2" - Robert Patrick as the bad Terminator cop!)


Yes, those are vintage lunchboxes on the wall beams and thermoses along the pony walls...

In Oakland - not Roscoe's...

Dessert...

Having soju with my cousin (note the graffiti on the bricks!) in the Outer Sunset district in SF...

Dessert next door...

and even more next door to that!

So far we're enjoying our trip! Tomorrow will be a long day as we head down the coast and make our stops...If there's time, I'll post highlights from the subsequent days but full posts will be forthcoming.
