I know, it seems like I have been sharing these sunset pictures forever… but I took a lot of them.

You might recall that the rest of my family was back in San Diego, and I was spending some quality time with my 95-year-old mother.

We drove up into the Berkeley hills, and it was one hell of a sunset.

I do have a few random pictures of the city, from various elevations.

With my new job, I don’t feel like I can ask for time off for a while.

So, I will be missing the Bay Area, and my mom. She likes to sit in the car and enjoy the sunset.

And who wouldn’t enjoy that view?

It was amazing.

Alcatraz Island and the Golden Gate.

San Francisco.

Man, I want to go back. My family is going up there this weekend, and I am stuck here working the swing shift.

Oh, and my mom won’t be there, she is going to Italy with two of my brothers.

Yeah, you heard me.

She is going with a choir group to sing in the Vatican.

Then, she and my brothers are going a few places, and ending up in Venice.

She is one tough old gal.
