Here’s a short video of tonight’s spectacular sunset in San Francisco (Pacifica). Our guest are arriving now. Happy New Year everyone! 

Waking up on the edge of America - The last sunrise of 2012 - Pacifica, CA

This is the view from the window I’m going to sleep next to! The sun just set on the other side of this ocean. Happy New Year to my friends in Asia!

Had a great lunch in Manhattan Beach with Darlene & Jay who are visiting from Portland. More here.

“Tonight, we are young. So let’s set the world on fire. We can burn brighter, than the sun.”
Mina may not win any awards for her shaky video, but hey, at least I wasn’t the cameraman, like I usually am when I drive. We were just rocking to some good music and enjoying the beautiful scenery! (Except for Ryan who was sleeping!)

Sunset while driving down the 101 from San Francisco to Santa Barbara. More here:  

The prettiest sunset of 2012 by far! :) Taken driving south from San Francisco to Santa Barbara, set to Linkin Park. Enjoy! Happy New Year!

It’s nearly 2 AM and I just got home after a nearly four hour drive from Santa Barbara that should have taken 90 minutes. Why they would choose to do construction on the 101 on the Sunday night of graduation weekend is beyond me. I finally exited the gridlock and drove 15 miles west to Pacific Coast Highway where I drove along the ocean in the darkness with the light of the moon bouncing off the waves. It was so much more peaceful than the 101…and I reflected on a wonderful weekend with good friends. We had an amazing picnic tonight at the beach as the sun set. I’ll post pictures tomorrow. For now, congratulations Dr. Eva Oxelson.
