chase the light

Today we had lunch plans to meet up with Jill at ILM. Also to say hi to Yoda, R2, 3P0 and Han Solo in Carbonite. Imageworks is fun and all, but there’s no Stormtrooper in the lobby, hallway of matte paintings, or Star Trek ships hanging from the ceiling. We’ve got Stuart Little’s boat sitting in a hallway somewhere. Anyway, we met up with Jill and she gave us a tour around ILM and had lunch in the dare I say commissary? More like restaurant. It nicely overlooks the Palace of Fine Arts. Not bad. In a way it was slightly depressing. Ha! We stopped in the ILM company store and picked up a few goodies and the receipts say “May the force be with you”. I think felt a little of the force act upon my credit card.

After we said our goodbyes to Jill we went across the street to a place called Liverpool Lil’s. Cause ya know… Had a few teas and some dessert then headed down the the Exploratorium at the Palace of Fine Arts. I love it there! There’s so much to see and do in there I usually walk out with a headache.

It was starting to get dark and we were meeting up with a friend Liza’s down the peninsula, so we were off! Probably a good point to once again say how much I love my GPS! Seriously, three best things ever… burritos, the internet, and GPS. It took us right there and we met up with Tracy, husband and their kids. Two dachshunds. Had some delicious dinner and chatted the whole night. It’s a nice house too, and probably worth a brazillion dollars at this point. Or with the market the way it is, 3/4 of a brazillion dollars. After a few hours of visiting we headed back up to home base. The bungalow on top of the San Remo Hotel. Oh, no we have to leave tomorrow. Boooo.
