Buon giorno, 06


Dinner was Italian, of course.
A nice little place down in the Mission.

Then a drive downtown where we walked through Union Square, looking for the big street party and fireworks. The Plaza was roped off and guarded by cops, with only raucous private parties along the side streets in swing. When did the Bush Administration come to The City?

After a really fun time hoofing it around town, we drove home and rang the new year in privately. We found out later that the public celebration had moved to the Embarcadero, with fireworks out over the Bay.

Next year, count us in.

Today's first meal will be cornbread, greens and black eyed peas, and a prayer for the future.

And butter.

Many blessings are sought for this year, this city, this family.
Ciao!

I said "sin ciao" to 06 in Saigon. Cool how this "space" connects us and transcends language and culture. (By the way, I have NO idea how to spell hello in Vietnamese but that is what I was saying when I thought I was saying it!)
