After a drive in great weather once we left San Francisco we arrived at Joanna and Jiana’s house at around 12:30 pm. It was if we had only been there recently even if Joanna is doing a little renovation at the moment.

After Jiana being the perfect hostess and telling us all where our rooms and facilities were, Joanna’s mother in law Shirley and brother in law Jim arrived to meet us as well. We all chatted for a few hours then the wall hit. It was time for a lay down for an hour to recharge us for later.

At around 5:30 friends of Joanna’s arrived for a typical US 4th of July “cook up” party. Names were relatively easy with just about 2 of everything. 2 X Scott, 2 X Sharon, 2 X Debbie, 2 X Steve and a smattering of other names.

I also managed to introduce some of the assembled to Geocaching as there is a cache no further than 30 metres from Joanna’s house. It is GCW9KH – Waters Edge.
