Day 72 North Beach Blues

We had a going-away evening in San Francisco for my best friend who is headed back to Madrid after her two-week visit out here. It was so so wonderful to have her here, and every time I get a little taste of what life is like to have her here on this side of the world I feel as if a little piece of me leaves with her when she flies back home.

Nevertheless, we had a lovely evening of pasta, chocolate eclairs from a little Italian bakery, and great tunes from a friend's band to top it all off. Of course, none of that made saying goodbye any easier...
