SF Mid-Singles Adventure by the Bay

I don't think I could get tired of this bridge, the city on the otherside of it, or the parks and coastline all around it.

The three in Fort Mason's park. Well, I am not really sure what the park is called, but it was near Fort Mason where we had church, and could barely feel our toes or hear the speakers. It was cold, and lets just say the accustics left much to be desired. One talk really moved me, however. One woman talked about the important questions to ask of God. Knowing that we will be given all we ask if we don't ask contrary to the will of God, makes one reflect what we should be asking. I guess "why" or "why me" is not included in those questions.

Ricki and the girls on the Golden Gate. Luce was so excited to see the GG Bridge; she said it would be like us seeing the Tour du Eiffel for the first time. Wow, I remember that. I know Luce will remember the GG Bridge for a long time. Too bad we didn't get more than Luce's forehead in the pics. This would have been a great time to risk my camera and ask a nice looking stranger to take the pic.

Ever wonder what holds up the GG Bridge? Well, a wrong turn lead us right under to see all the support. Pretty cool.

Crissy Field. Wow. I would love to take my dogs there to play and have fun in front of the SF Bay and GG Bridge. I love this field and I wish I had more time to play in this field.

The coolest thing about this trip is that it all came together at the last moment. Dave martin connected me with Celeste whose brother in SF was so generous to let us stay at their place for the weekend, and Luce was able to come on a later flight as well. An hour before getting to LAX, Chad (Celeste's brother) found us a rental car for $15 a day!!! WOW! SF here we come! I love this city and I couldn't wait!

I get to LAX with an hour and a half waiting in the terminal. I was so ready to lay down and just sleep on the ground, but decided to keep my propriety and stay in the chair. I was dreaming of the extra few hours I had by getting an earlier flight into SF and all the places I want to see. I get into SFO, and my luggage didn't make it. What? My luggage didn't make it! You have got to be kidding! Then comes the problem of I need my luggage and no where to deliver it because Chad and Amber where planning to leave for Ventura county. Bummed out, I end up waiting a couple hours to to get my luggage on the next flight. I then head to the airbus to get the rental car.

Still fuming, and trying to calm down from my late luggage, all of a sudden I hear this Aussie talking and I look over, and almost yell, "I know you!" He looks at me like I am some crazy American chick. I then say that I'm thefish, and he says, "Yes, yes you are." And the rest is history! I finally got to meet Ricki from linkup! It truely was meant to be to meet on the airbus, and the way to meet was my luggage not making it on the flight.

The events of the conference don't matter to me. What matters are the wonderful people I got to spend the weekend with. From Chad and Amber being such amazinfg hosts and sharing Amber's birthday celebration and enjoying the singles conference stories, to Ricki and his great big personality and laughs, and of course Luce and Celeste who endured the ups and downs of a mid-singles weekend and just had fun! It was great.
