Marin and San Francisco Bay Area, CA - 10/22-11/10

We landed in Marin County, north of San Francisco a few days before heading to NY to do the Zegg Forum training and a whirlwind visit with relatives and friends in RI/MA. Going back East after being on the West was a bit strange, especially leaving our car here (our home is where our car is!). It was great to see my family and friends who we miss!

We had a wonderful stay with our friends Marcy and Kim in San Rafael, a sweet hillside town near the water with great vistas of San Francisco Bay and the live oaks on the hill trails. Kule knew Marcy from the Abode Sufi community days (in his 20s), and we got to hang with other Abodians in a special reunion at their home.

We were grateful to stay in a cozy inviting home for a week, hanging with our friends, catching up with business as well as exploring the urban and rural areas. We loved Pt Reyes, less than one hour from San Rafael with deer, elk, elephant seals, and sustainability consciousness in the community.

We checked out nearby city life, including Five Rhythms dance in Sausalito (great to be with the dance community!), UC Berkeley, and Oakland areas. We could see living near the Bay Area, outside the high-price belt and close enough to have access to so much, including good weather. We've always liked the San Francisco area. Jason might have gone to college here, so I am thinking of him during my visit; he's encouraging me to move here!
