One thing that's been difficult to explain to various people that we've met along the way is where we actually live... Dick, of course, likes to say that we're homeless - I'd rather describe us as nomadic! If home is where our friends are, we have many homes... the Bay Area certainly feels like home, as we had several serendipitous meetings while we were there. When visiting Cafe Oliveto in the East Bay, we ran into my colleague Debby Kelly from Tilia, with her husband Patrick and new baby Emma... while shopping in Mill Valley, who should wait on us at Tyler Florence but an old friend from Muir Beach, Barbara Herwitz... and of course we saw many former friends and foes on the tennis courts... nowhere to hide! I think the truth is that in this modern world, home is wherever we are, as long as we have our cell phone and computer.
We finished our California visit with a grand stay at Margaret and John's in Fairfax - including fun tennis, truffle pasta, fine wines, and an excellent Memorial Weekend party on Sunday. John was kind enough to drive us all the way to the airport on Monday (early) morning, and we set off on our bon voyage to Paris. Whee!!!
Walked off our jet lag with a dose of beauty at the Musee D'Orsay today, and look forward to two days at the French Open.
