Ocean Beach

There are two. Ocean Beaches, that is. Hop on the Metro above to get to the “other” one.

Here’s a night picture of the courtyard at the motel where I stayed. View from my room looking toward the street.

The photos before the sun rise are the Bay Area, and the photos after the sun rise are of San Diego.

Back to work today.

The craziness …

It makes me tired just watching that!

Not surprisingly, Maya passed out on the way home.

And I woke up late, tired and sore from all the trampolining.

The party was a great success!

Robb, Akuch and Alo stopped at the house on the way to the party.

Give that girl a box of Snickers …

Teacher training workshop completed. It was a lot of work, but great. They don’t call it an intensive for nuthin!

We got done early yesterday, so Lynn and I took the Metro (which stops right across the street from our motel) downtown. We started off at the Asian Art Museum, and from there walked to the Wharf where we ate dinner at a little Mexican restaurant, similar to Wahoo’s, and caught the Metro back home.

The picture above is of the front of the museum.

Here are some pictures I took during our outing.20140308-024947.jpg20140308-025005.jpg20140308-025026.jpg20140308-025112.jpg20140308-025137.jpg20140308-025223.jpg20140308-025309.jpg20140308-025335.jpg20140308-025429.jpg
Up at 3am this morning to catch my flight home.

Papu Manouso

At yesterday’s Q&A, we were blessed with the company of Manouso’s 9 month old grandson. Such a cutie.

On the San Diego front, Bruce sent me pictures of Maya spending time in the pool with some of her friends.

Today is the last day of the workshop & we get out early enough to head downtown to the Asian Art Museum and more.

The Abode of Iyengar Yoga – San Francisco

Above – another photo of Alo taken from Akuch’s FB (6 months old)!!

Below are some pictures of the interior of the yoga studio where I’m doing my training – people setting up for lecture.

Although yesterday was a “short” day, I didn’t do anything exciting. Recovering and resting is important here. Tomorrow we’re done at 10:30. That’ll be the end of the workshop, and I plan on “living it up” by going to the Asian Art Museum where there’s a collection of Indian Yoga artifacts. If you’d like a preview, look here:

It’s the small things in life …

In my absence, Bruce put up the clothes hanger I asked for in the laundry room so I can hang my clothes to dry.

And there’s this house I parked in front of…

20140304-213942.jpg
But the best thing yet is this cashier’s haircut. At first I wasn’t sure if it was a knitted cap, but it’s really his hair. I thought I would sneak a photo, but little did I know, I failed to turn the flash off … Ooops.

SF / SD

I’m still heavy in workshop & haven’t had any spare time to get out and see the sights. The picture above is of a character on a street post about 2 blocks from the motel where I’m staying.

It rained most of yesterday, but that didn’t affect me since I was inside & could only hear the pitter patter on the sky window in the yoga a studio.

Below is a photo of Alo I got off Facebook that Akuch posted.

20140304-064607.jpg
She said that Alo’s learned that he can fake cough now to get attention.

Here’s a picture Morgan posted of the twins.

20140304-064813.jpg
And lastly… Bruce sent me this video of Alo playing with one of the new shaker toys we got for the kids to play with at the house.

Alison

I got an email yesterday from Alison. We donated to her cause – the American Lung Association’s Fight for Air Climb. Because “breathing shouldn’t be an uphill climb,” their team (the Mendota Heights Fire Department) climbed 31 floors of 680 stairs, and raised $1500 for ALA!

Alison’s time going up the stairs was 11:11! Dan (carrying 60 pounds of fire gear) finished the uphill in 17:31!!

They plan on going up again next year with new goals – Alison hoping to do 10 minutes or less, and Dan’s goal is under 15 minutes.

Here are pictures Alison sent.

Alison is second from left and Dan is third from right.

Way to go, Alison & Dan!! Good job!

On another accomplishment… word has it that Sparty’s room has been painted! Here’s evidence.

Looks like he’s had help.

Another day in San Francisco and no photos to show for it. 6 hours of workshop and a very tired me. Perhaps I’ll find some spare time and energy today to capture some SF.

Maya and the Beast

These are the last pictures from Friday at the Zoo.

I spent NINE hours in classes yesterday. I’m already beat and there’re still 6 days left of the workshop. Needless to say, I didn’t get a chance to take pictures of my surroundings yesterday …
