I think this is the first time Kal took a picture of an EMPTY plate!

And who said men never grow up? Thanks to Toed's pictures, we have a proof - Kal is out of his short pants, wearing jeans!

Great photos, and lots of them! I'll post mine today or tomorrow (too few, ran out of the film left, didn't realize I had something on there already).

All these great photos. Enough to fill an album of just the GTG. Not a bad idea since I love my travel albums. Thank you Faina for more great shots.

Kal - Thanks for the photos. I love all the funny pictures of you and you manage to take a lot of this newbie.

Faina - Thank you so much for posting your pictures. I love the way you have captioned them. I didn't even realize that There yet and I were both wearing checks.

That GTG was a lot of fun - great initiation for a new Fodorite. I look forward to the next one........

Next one in Sacramento November 16 Sunday at noon. Or if you want to drive up to Reno on Saturday November 15.

Maybe end of April in Petaluma on the day of the Butter and Egg parade? I love this parade, and it seems can go next year By bus by the way, if anybody without a car want to join.

I may also be in LA end of March if I get tickets. I always bug the locals, whenever I go, and sometimes I get people to come

Sorry, sorry I couldn't make it -- son had a noon rally and 9 p.m. nite rally that Friday, so we were stuck in Berkeley, stuck with an early dinner to accommodate son's "dance card". I highly recommend Bistro Liaison in north Berkeley for good, solid, traditional French bistro fare (and a fairly decent wine list!). With my son's 10% student discount, it's a solid deal.

Faina, if you're coming to L.A. let me know in advance and we'll GTG down here!

Faina,

The april Egg and Butter parade in Petaluma sounds nice, Faina. I don't drive and would like to join you on the bus ride.

I will be busy in November as I have just decided to join GraceJoan in Paris in a ParisPerfect apartment in early December. Have a lot of preps at work and at home. Poor husband will be all alone!

Till next time!

Lilia

Figure skating championship is in LA, end of March. I'm keeping an eye on the tickets - if I can get singles, not a $2,000 package, I may spend the night in LA for a GTG.

It's not that I timed our trip just right. I decided to bring our Florida weather with us!
