Julio was subpoenaed to the State Bar Court in San Francisco the day after Valentine’s Day. He had to go testify against a former crooked co-worker who might lose his license. So, we decided to make it a day trip for just the two of us. The first time we’ve ever been without any kids for a whole day since Lucia was born almost 9 years ago! Luckily, my dad and brother were available to get Marco to school and watch the girls. With everything arranged, we left early, but still got to court 1/2 hour late. So we had to wait-that really cut into our day, but we got to sit and read and talk for an hour before Julio had to testify. It was kinda fun watching him be questioned. I gave him the full run-down of all his little quirks when we left. It was pretty funny watching him cock his head to the side, scratch his chin, knit his eyebrows together and ask, “Could you clarify that?” I don’t remember. and he used the sentence “I had already divorced myself from those responsibilities.” twice.
Anyway, after we were done, we walked from the Financial District about a mile to Little Italy. We ate lunch at the Stinking Rose restaurant. Garlic is their specialty and we ate a lot of garlic! It was really good. Then we walked all the way back (got a good work-out) to Embarcadero and went to the Ferry Building and walked around the pier, took lots of pictures and then relaxed and watched the boats come in and out of the bay, the seagulls fly by and listened to the hum of the city. It was so relaxing. Then it was time to head back. We stopped and got ice cream on the way and then got stuck in traffic for at least an hour. It was a good day. We got to spend it together!
