Friday- Morgan Hill Summers

We been asking ourselves that last few weeks whether the Friday night music series in Morgan Hill had begun yet and finally we discovered that this was already the third week! So we went downtown early evening and had a meal at Rosy's at the Beach. (Whilst there we also found about two other events this weekend -more about that tomorrow).

We sat outside and had a lovely meal- right near one of the Morgan Hill mushrooms. These were an art project where several of the same size mushrooms were decorated by different local artists and are now located in different places in the downtown area. This is one of my favorites




We then wandered up to see the band playing in the new location for the Friday night series- the Community and Cultural Center amphitheater. I did not originally like the idea of the Chamber of Commerce moving it from it's original third street location but it really did work. There must have been over 300 people there, it was more comfortable and the sound was much better. It would also have been much easier for everyone in terms of set up, and they have real public toilets there instead of porta-potties. I'm looking forward to next week!

Morgan Hill Friday and Saturday

This past weekend was one of those amazingly busy Morgan Hill weekends. It all starts with the Friday night music series. Everyone sitting around with their chairs or blankets at the small outdoor amphitheater behind the Community and Cultural Center watching and/or dancing to the live band. Everything from country to R and B, Blues or Rock and Roll. I've now come to prefer this location to the old 3rd street location- it just makes so much more sense. Saturday morning I joined the Morgan Hill Photography Club for the 2nd annual Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk. 32,600 people took part in their own cities. We basically wandered through the downtown area taking lots of photos. It was very hot and I didn't find the perfect picture but it was fun all the same. My favorite pictures turned out to be the ones of people.. I still got to go to the market- my favorite Saturday morning "chore"... We then spent a couple of hours pulling my new motorbike apart and making absolut...

Travelling to Kauai

So this week, my blog entries will also be a diary of my holiday in Kauai, and a photo or two, although most of the photos will probably be on my Flickr page. We left home yesterday early from San Jose airport, which was not a pleasant experience- one word sums it up- queues! We only just made the plane and arrived at the airport over an hour and a half before the flight. The flight was on Hawaiian Air, and they too, are squeezing every penny they can, from having to pay to check any bags, to renting headsets and movie players on board. The flight was a long one; extra time for strong headwinds meant a 6 hour flight just to Honolulu. We did make the connection in time and the 30 minute flight to Kauai was so short it was laughable. It was also really windy in Kauai but it was warm and slightly humid with partly cloudy skies. Perfect. We arrived at the rental home a few hours before Joel and Stevie and found out very quickly why they love it so much here: and the view from the house was...

Corks

I started collecting wine corks a little while ago. For no particular reason. Then I decided I could make something out of them. Right now I have them in an over-sized margarita glass. They are fun to take photos of!
