We drove down to San Jose and Union City and visited our former co-workers. While we'll miss them, so far this early retirement thing is working out quite nicely!! We talked about our trip north and the impending journey to Nola. It was great to see everyone, and then get to leave. Are we missing the 8-5? Hell no!!
While we appreciated the boys' offer for us to stay at the treehouse, it is far too small to house 4 adults, so we moved to Coco's place in NOE because she has a guest room and was gracious enough to take us in. Another plus at Coco's is the fact that she has a garage so we'd be able to bring our crap to her place and pack the car in the garage. Plus, after only a few short days of living in the city, we had already gotten a parking ticket for parking in a street cleaning zone. A what? Yes, y'urd me, they actually clean the streets on a weekly basis. Being from Nola, we have no point of reference because there, the streets are only cleaned after a Mardi Gras parade. We've had to worry about moving our ladders and coolers quickly enough, but never our car.
Coco recently moved from London to San Francisco and is still settling in. Phyl cooked dinner and we spend the evening getting to know each others' life stories.
