Wednesday night, arrived in El Cerrito, CA. Marian had pasta on the stove to meet me with. It didn’t take long for her to get out the map to see what my trip to Baja entailed. She eagerly pin dropped my stops along the way. Hence the completed map, you see featured on this blog. I think she’s got the travel bug now. Maybe, I’ll be lucky enough to see her and Tupelo down there at some point.
Thursday, we walked the streets of Fourth Street Shopping, Berkeley I caved in and spent all little money on some skin products that were on sale. Ate some delicious tacos at Tacubaya
Made it to San Mateo Thursday night for a stay with my nephew, his beautiful wife and nearly one year old daughter. I just got to meet my new great-niece the day after Thanksgiving when they were in Eugene. She is absolutely precious with her 1/2 Italian and 1/2 Mexican blood. They live near my niece in law’s parents who are lucky enough to be invited over to say goodnight to their granddaughter most nights. Hard to fight back the tears, seeing this ideal world of grandparents being in their grandchildren’s life. This is how it should be. So happy for them and further confused about why I am no longer in my grandchildren’s life. Traveling through the heart ache today.
