Saturday morning I left the Hacienda by 6 AM. I arrived at the parking garage at the Tampa Airport just over an hour later, and parked "Plain Jane", my little MINI. If you 'biggify' the picture you can see some of the Tampa buildings in the almost sunrise!
The plane trip was fine, we had smooth sailing, no wailing babies, and we arrived in San Francisco 20 minutes early.
I do wear a mask in the airport and on the plane. Here I am on the Air Train heading to the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) station. If I land at a reasonable hour, and the weather is decent, I'll use BART. I have about a half mile walk from the BART station to the condo. If it is dark, or not a good situation for walking, I use Uber or Lyft.
BART brings it's own amusements.
This little guy was a cutie.
A father and son hopped on at one stop. The father had a boom box and a melodica (had to look it up on the Internet) and the young boy had a violin.
They provided a little entertainment, passed a hat
and hopped off at the next stop.
The walk from the BART station to the condo also has some interesting distractions.
I enjoy this little library along the way.
It's outside the Alliance Francaise, which offers French lessons.
I have picked up a few children's books in French for the grand kids in the past.
There wasn't anything for their age range today.
No matter what time of year I visit Oakland,
there are always flowers blooming.
Even the potted plants we leave on our porch are looking healthy and beautiful!
The little boy has talent! Beautiful flowers. It will be a few months before We see anything like that.
ReplyDeleteWe have always been awed by the flowering plants in CA, not matter when we travel. It certainly brightens up winter!
DeleteHow fun! And I love little libraries. I would love to have one here, but not enough/any people would even stop by I don't think.
ReplyDeleteI stop at every one of them! Some folks have also put up food libraries, asking folks to drop off extra canned foods, and one family has a jig-saw puzzle library!
DeleteAm glad you're there, safe and sound and think you were wise to wear that mask.
ReplyDeleteWhat delightful entertainment you had on BART and how amazing to see your plants at your front door looking so healthy and beautiful!
Hugs!
The climate makes for nice plants....most of the time!
