Well, I could tell you about my trip to the dentist yesterday, or I could chat some more about Angel Island. Across from the barracks is a beautiful memorial wall for the descendents of the Chinese immigrants who came through here before entering the United States. Very touching thank yous in Chinese and English and alas, I only photographed a small portion of the wall. And here is a whimsical map which, to my huge relief, featured the cafe.
They call me: stein, msmas, mush, m.a., mary ann, mary lou, mary om, or just plain mary (and you may too)

leaving the City for a day
Angel Island is our Ellis Island ~ from 1910 to 1940, Chinese immigrants were processed here in grim barracks on this beautiful spot where they could see SF in the distance. Pat (see photo) and I took the terrific tour and had a long and delightful day. The round trip ferry is $11 for seniors (we qualify!) and thankfully there is a friendly cafe on this California State Park. I sprinkled some of Husbando's ashes here as we had visited about 40 years or so ago. Glorious weather too.
