Thanksgiving and Rushing Around to Leave for Chile

We flew back to San Francisco and stayed with our niece, Shawna, who lives in Oakland and who very kindly looks after our mail.

Then we enjoyed a couple of days in Sacramento with Bruce's cousin Gary and his wife, Deb.

We all got together at Priscilla and Jon's house in Medford again for Thanksgiving. Dave and Charles were there, and it was nice for the four of us to be together again.

Then back to San Francisco. Penny's cousin Joyce, and Rob Kurtz, welcomed us into their new home in Noe Valley even though they hadn't finished unpacking.

We went to the storage unit where our stuff is, replenished what needed it, and changed out what needed to be changed out.

Then we were off to Chile.

Welcome and Bienvenidos!

In 2010, Penny and I were in Lima. We decided then to give up the lease on our San Francisco home when it expired that summer. Figuring that we were spending too much money for four years renting a house from which we were gone half the time traveling, we would get a smaller place. That idea worked its way down to a storage unit, and we decided to go live in places that we had visited before and liked.

Some of my friends contend that I should write and publish a travel book. Perhaps. In the meantime, this blog will have to do.
