Last night’s crowd was stupendous — the group included family members, Santa Cruz friends and a former Santa Cruz Sentinel colleague, a high-school pal, members of my Santa Cruz writing group, a former student and many other folks that I’d never met before. A big bunch of people followed my sister and brother-in-law to an after-party at a funicular-accessible restaurant in Capitola By The Sea.
Also — I am very grateful to this blog’s readers for sending all your crazy adventure stories. Keep rolling them in. (and one last thing — “Cactus” was the number-one travel book on Amazon yesterday — a shock to my system to say the least; thanks for passing this around and letting me know about your own explorations and adventures.)
