Ocean Breathes Salty - Walking Amongst the Sutro Baths 6/1/13

But first, a weird video for your viewing...errrr...pleasure?

Just because weirdness seems to fit here.  I mean, who would take some of the most beautiful coastline, build several amazing swimming pools, and then enclose it in a big ugly building, right?

To see exactly what I'm talking about, VISIT THIS AMAZING WEBPAGE. I mean, I do get it...and it's fascinating, really.  But in my little fantasy world if I had all that money and could do something like this, I would have at least left some of it open to the gorgeous vistas.

But I'm digressing before I even get started!  The point is...there aren't many places in the USA where you can go walk amongst crumbling ruins of a fantasy.  

Ladies and gents, I give you the Sutro Baths.  

That is the view that greets you from the parking lot.  It's hard to picture the place as it once was.  But fun to try.

It's not for the faint of heart...to get down to the actual site, you have to traverse a LOT of steps.

Japantown - 6/1/13

Life's been pretty much crazy lately with trying to get situated for Adrienne to move to USC and all that it entails.  But I'm hanging in there and, despite what some people suggest, we WILL make this dream come true.

On top of all that, I started my new job (which I LOVE) and also have been studying my ass off for another promotional exam that figures heavily on math.  Not my strong suit.  And frankly, I took the test last Thursday and I don't think I passed. But if I didn't, I'll take it as a challenge & retake the test in 6 months.

I've been wanting to get these pictures on here but just haven't had time or energy.  But I'm going to take the time out of my housecleaning.  Win! Right?

I made a completely unplanned stop at Japantown and was glad I did.  They were having the Soy &Tofu Festival (two things of which I heartily approve) and there were some fun things going on.  

But first, I decided to do a little bit of shopping.  
I wanted to buy a lucky cat.  

But I ended up getting a lucky cat mug that sort of resembles an amalgam of my two kitties.
