Mi Madre and Me

My wonderful mother came to visit last week.  We had such adventures!  Here are some highlights...

 

The amazing pool at the Hearst Castle

Driving up the 1 from San Luis Obispo; pretty nice view, huh?

Rodin's The Thinker at the Legion of Honor.  We saw the Cartier exhibit there, which was amazing!

Mom by the big safety pin at the de Young. 

After seeing The Little Mermaid at SF Ballet.  There are no words to describe how beautiful it was!

Brunch at the Karma Kitchen.  If you haven't been and you live in the area, you must try it!  On Sundays, a local restaurant shuts down normal business and this "experiment in giving," as they call it, begins.   You get a full mean (mango lassi, dessert and all) and then your check is $0.00, with a footnote: "Your meal was a gift from someone who came before you. To keep the chain of gifts alive, we invite you to pay it forward for those dine after you."  You can't help but leave there feeling refreshed and confident in the goodness of people.
