Weekend wrapup

Sunday evening, a time for reflection.

I was working at the reference desk Friday afternoon, and getting thirsty. At the five o'clock bell I was off to Triple Rock (a fine brewpub), and then on to Brennan's (the anti-Chez Panisse). And thus went Friday night.

Saturday Jiwon & I drove down to Santa Cruz, watched some surfers, sucked in some ocean air, and then made our way to Kiva Retreat House. It was Jiwon's birthday, and a good excuse to do something special. And Kiva sure is special. We spent around six hours cycling between outdoor hot tub soaking, sauna sweating, and tea sipping in the Eden-like garden. And while any day's a good day to visit Kiva, when better to hang out in one's birthday suit than on one's birthday? (Many thanks to Cinthia for recommending Kiva!)

Sunday morning was all about Peet's coffee, house cleaning and a bit of work in the garden. Come afternoon I was off to San Francisco to hang with the hoopers in Lafayette Park. On the way back I went Korean grocery shopping in Oakland, and came home to cook a yummy Korean dinner.

Now it's after dinner, and I'm getting sleeepy....

Ooh! Kiva looks awesome. Perhaps Dre & I will stop for a soak on our way out of SF on Monday. Mmm. Nice.
