VitaTour 2006

Halftime is over...

The conference ended so it’s time to pack up and head out on the northbound side of the trip.

We say goodbye to Toni & her mom. We will see Toni again, at the Champion plant on the 5th. Breaking down from a show is interesting in that the facility staff is in such a hurry to get home to their families, being rude and pushing the participants out of the way. 8 ( . Not a happy experience, but with good help, it is short lived.

All in all, I think the conference was a good one for us. A lot of interest and some very positive comments. It is good to see a continuing growth in attitude toward good nutrition, but we still have a great deal of work to do.

OK, enough business, on to tourist mode. We picked up Carol on Saturday AM and head toward Concord. Now this is normally an hour or so away, but Michelle and Maggie had other ideas. As Carol had not seen the Golden Gate Bridge, we had to go across. To get there, we had to climb up an over the “hills” that San Francisco is famous for. I think Michelle forgets we are pulling 29’ of trailer.


M: if we were going to go that way, ANYWAY, I thought Carol should see Golden Gate Park, Haight Ashbury area, the beach, the zoo and of course, Lombard Street.

We got there, but from the other side, it is STRAIGHT UP to get to the top. Not so good for us with trailer and no place to go at the top. So, I toss Carol out and tell her to walk up and then down and we’ll meet her on the downside. Barney was delighted with his lil walk to the bottom of the street and attracted quite a crowd by being cute.

We had lunch at John’s Ocean View Café. I would recommend it. It is on 47th Street, next to the Zoo. Quaint place, good service and nice food.



On the walk back to the car, I saw this bush with yellow and white flowers. God’s beauty even graces San Francisco. Guess I just like flowers and the beauty they have with in.



Needless to say we go all over SF from the Zoo to Golden Gate Park to Lombard Street.



Again, I am amazed at the beautiful homes. We waited at the bottom of the Lombard Street hill for Carol and had a chance to take in several buildings built shortly after the 1909 Quake. So much detail in these homes. I’m lovin’ it.






Hey, here is a business like ours. Working out of their home, just a different kind of home and business. LOL I wonder if they enjoy theirs as much as we do?



Well, on to and over the bridge toward Concord.

Thanks,

Don Curran
