Houseboat or "Floating Home" as is preferred by many residents.
Sausalito, California

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner last night with AMI friend Paul Germeraad and his family in Saratoga, California.

Spent the night at Costco in San Jose. Parking overnight in a city is a challenge. All RV parks were full and there is no overnight parking on city streets. We awoke to crowds of people lined up outside Costco anxiously waiting to get inside for all those good deals!!! No...we were not part of that madness!

After a full day's drive from Oregon, we met my daughter Elizabeth and her sweetie Craig at Belvie and Dedan's houseboat in Sausalito, California.

We had a very special dinner at Avatar's, "Purveyors of Ethnic Confusions," in Sausalito.
For the past 22 years, Avatar's has been serving free Thanksgiving eve meals to the community. Last year they served 1500 people!!!
Incredible meal, extraordinary place!!!

Went to see Annie and Eric's cabin. Breath-taking scenery!!! It was the Roamer's first trek through snow--performed like a champ!!!
One more day in Central Point to finish various chores--installing hard drives, doing laundry, catching up on paperwork, stocking up on groceries, etc. Wednesday we head to San Francisco to spend time with daughter Iz, her significant other, Craig and very dear friends Dedan Gills and Belvie Rooks.

We'll see how the Roamer likes big cities...
