Arrived SFO airport on Southwest Airlines before Thursday noon, Sep.29. Was met by Greg, who took me out to lunch of mami & siopao at LingNam. Proceeded to Barnes & Noble Books Tanforan before picking up Kara from work. Went to Milbrae for a Chinese dinner hosted by Tita Beth. Mariel & Jojo joined us.
Friday, Sep.30, Geg & I attended 9am Mass at Our Lady of Mercy before he dropped me at Stonestown, where I met up w Dan Sablad, my freshman high school classmate and whom I hadn't seen since (about 48 years ago). Had a nice chat over coffee then I took MUNI to downtown to meet Tita Ely at St. Patrick's Church. We had late lunch at Bloomingdale's basement fooderia then went to her efficiency nearby to rest. Went walking downtown and was diasppointed at the dirty streets of tenderloin area. 4pm I took the BART to South San Francisco where Greg picked me up before picking up Kara. We then passed by the graves of Lola Aida, Uncle Bert, Tito Jimmy & Tita Bert, & Aileen (Jayjay's young wife) to pray.
We then proceeded to Tommy's Joynt Van Ness corner Geary for a great roast dinner. I had real corned beef. After dinner, Greg drove us through Fisherman's Wharf & Ghiraldelli Square. Slept after doing twitters & email.
Saturday, Oct.1, we had early breakfast before Greg & Kara took me to the airport to check-in for my noon Delta flite to Narita and Manila. So good to have met up w/family in the Bay area.
