I haven’t felt much like blogging lately, so this is a brief account of my recent USA trip. It was mostly for work, but I managed to squeeze in a trip to NYC and Monterey. Most of the trip, when I wasn’t working, I was catching up with friends and family.
First stop, San Francisco.
Catching up with Isis, Mansi and baby Maya.
Dinner at Greens Restaurant in SF with Jamie, Lisa and Isis.
One of Mansi and Jason’s Abyssinian cats.
Another of Mansi and Jason’s pets!

Next destination, NYC! I stayed with Masa for a few days in Brooklyn.
