Oh dear, was my last post really in October? Well that’s just unacceptable.
Today I went for a lovely little hike in honor of Super Bowl Sunday, as my buddy and I like to do. We went to Hidden Villa on the Peninsula. It was gorgeous! I hope I can stay in the hostel there someday. We went for a short hike up a hill that had a great view of the Bay. Sadly I didn’t take any photos…my camera is fairly lousy at landscape shots anyway. It was 77 degrees outside and perfectly sunny, which I took as a cue to where my big, ridiculous sun hat. It’s days like today that make the idea of leaving California hard.
There’s not a whole lot of other news. The main thing is that I’m almost finished applying to teaching credential programs, which means I won’t have to spend any time worrying over those anymore. Or at least I can switch my worrying from worrying over completing them to worrying over getting in.
Oh! The other big news is that I just got back from a week-long service trip to New Orleans, which was incredible in every way. I love that place. And I liked the service project we did, helping a homeowner paint his house in the Lower 9th Ward. And I loved the music I heard! Y’all should check out Glen David Andrews. When you are in NOLA you MUST see him live. MUST.
Here, so that the post has at least one photo. A pic of the lovely and odd little palm trees in Jackson Square in New Orleans. I met them the first time I was there, eating Cafe du Monde beignets on a park bench. I was happy to see they are still alive and well.
Friendly Palm Trees
I’m in for both tours… where do I sign up?
