Los Gatos Weekend.

6-7-25 LOS GATOS, CALIFORNIA: We flew from Newark, EWR, to San Fran, SFO, with no delays or cancellations and arrived 20 minutes early. We were  met by Eoin and Siobhan. I used a wheelchair to get to the gate and from the gate. Especially in SFO, there are millions of gates and miles of walking necessary.

In Los Gatos we connected with Joe and Jon and went to dinner downtown at a Korean place. It was excellent. By the time dinner was over it was way past our bedtime, and we checked into Hotel Los Gatos for an early or late bedtime depending on which time zone you use.

This morning we drove to Monterey Bay Aquarium and joined hundreds of other fish lovers for the exhibits, inside and outside. We saw kelp forests, sea otters inside and outside, jelly fish, tropical reefs, shore birds, penguins, skates, sea lions, pelicans, leopard sharks, clown fish, and a thousand tiny humans. In the bay we also saw kayakers, sailors, fishermen, paragliders. The last time we were here, Eoin and Joe were in a stroller, this time I wished I was in a stroller. By mid-afternoon everybody was fished out and we went to dinner at a nearby place, The Fish Hopper, one of many choices on Cannery Row. After dinner, we returned to Los Gatos and hung out at the house playing with their rambunctious dogs, Juno and Friday. 

Tomorrow back to EWR.
