Happy Mother's Day!

JP came this morning.  Rosy went to Half Moon Bay to spend the day with her family.  We drove into San Francisco for brunch at an Italian restaurant that JP knew about.

We were in really heavy traffic after the tunnel in the Berkley area until we got past the toll booths on the Bay Bridge.  It was bumper to bumper.

We were late for our reservation at Trattoria Contadina, but Natalia had called from the "freeway parking lot" to  explain our tardiness.  The owner said he would hold our reservation.

JP, Natalia, and Lori ordered different kinds of pasta dishes.  I ordered Lemon Ricotta Pancakes.  They were exceptionally good...perhaps the best pancakes I've ever had.

After eating, we walked around the area looking at the row houses.  I find them very interesting.  There was a cold wind blowing so we didn't go down to Pier 39.  JP drove through some neighborhoods that we hadn't seen before.

Before bedtime, I watched part of the season finale of Survivor, but decided to go to bed early.  I'll catch up on it later.
