Saturday, Gunther and Eliza and the boys and I, with some neighbors, went to Point Pinole Beach and participated in the Coastal Clean-up.  We got a few bags of trash and felt good being outside at the beach--sunny--and being able to clean up.  Now, I feel like taking a garbage bag with me whenever I go to the beach!

Yesterday Robert and I went to a neighborhood house party where we made calls for MoveOn.org--for the Obama campaign.  Lots of wrong numbers and answering machines, but I felt good when a few young people said they were willing to go down to the Campaign for Change headquarters in Medford, Oregon next week and help out!   It was nice to meet local people and do something constructive.

Last weekend, Gunther and Eliza nd the boys and I went to Pigeon Point Lighthouse in Pescadero.  There is a hostel there where we stayed, hiked over to view the sea lions, made our own dinner, visited the tide pools, and had a soak in a hot tub overlooking the Pacific.  A nice weekend--and lots of hiking.  Wow, 8 miles altogether--and the boys did very well.
