Hello From the San Francisco Bay Area!

Well, I've made it here safe and sound.  I'm still suffering from jet lag but I hope to be back on my feet in a couple of days.  It's been really nice to see some of my family.   I think that I'm in reverse culture shock.  Mostly I'm surprised at how large everything is.  food, cars, roads, clothes, people, everything!   I'm also shocked at how good the public sanitation system and recycling system is!  I also forgot how friendly Americans can be.  At the airport, I saw a couple of strangers sit next to each other, and not 10 seconds later begin to have a friendly conversation!

My mother's house looks absolutely beautiful.  She has expanded her garden and its full of lush vegetables, and giant roses.  I'll post some pictures soon.

Tomorrow is going to be a shopping day I think.  It should be fun!
