100 Days

We hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend. Although we didn't see any out of place wildlife this weekend, we spent the afternoon and evening at Pacifica State Beach about a half hour south of our apartment. It's an absolutely beautiful beach that's filled with surfers. We were there from late afternoon to sunset to allow time for Renee to get some schoolwork done.

On Saturday we went to an Oakland Athletics/Minnesota Twins game in Oakland. Although it was essentially a meaningless game for Oakland, which is out of the playoff hunt, we were surprised at how into the game the fans were, maybe moreso than the Giants-Dodgers game we went to which is supposed to be a big rivalry. (And just for the record, there were two other people in our section alone keeping score. So yours truly was not the only one).




Saturday night was also Fireworks Night, which meant that we got to watch a very impressive fireworks display set to music from the outfield grass.

Finally, we just realized that today was our 100 day anniversary, and that we have been living in San Francisco for 52 days and sleeping in the same place every night. For the preceeding 48 days we managed to stay in 13 locations in 11 different states. Needless to say we've been enjoying the continuity.
