Things in your life that you will remember
RouxB:
I am going to make a point of coming your way this summer so we can get together.

I was dating a much older man at work, a scientist who was very well respected in his field. He even worked with the guy whose research "Jurassic Park" is based on. Anyway, we decided we needed some R&R and he booked a weekend outing to Pebble Beach. My friend loved the area and was looking to buy property in Pacific Grove, as he wanted to retire there. We set out early Saturday morning and arrived in Monterey by noon. All checked in, we left the hotel and walked up and down the streets of Monterey where we visited art galleries, saw entire families of deer walking around like they owned the place, and at night, we..well, just suffice to say that we had a great time! I saw a few Hollywood B list actors hanging around the area; one TV star was smoking a cig under a street light, and I laughed as people walked by him, stopped, smiled and kept on. We explored historic California forts and watched oldsters driving around the courses in golf "buggies" at Pebble Beach. It was the best weekend I ever spent. No kids: he had one young son living with him, and my daughter was a toddler. My friend and I still get together once in awhile even though we live quite a ways apart. We didn't get married because he felt I was much too young for him, and decided I needed a partner I could share my life fully with. He didn't want me to be his nurse. I was crushed at first, as I did love him and wanted to be with him, but in time agreed with his reasons.

Friend, I'll always remember the time you, I and EDelMar spent exploring the Marin Coast, the headlands, and Chinatown in San Francisco in September of 2007!!

I remember a wonderful road trip in the fall on 2005, before this thing got a hold of me, five wonderful days on the deserted Pacific Coast highway, from San Francisco to Seattle, twisting and turning with the ever present ocean blowing rain. It was a joy. I hope to do the southern part one day.

That is a great drive - very scenic. It can be a scary road to travel, though, with all the twists and turns.
