the yuba river is about 2 hours north of san francisco and is amazing and beautiful! i did not take many photos because i spent most of the time lying around naked on the warm rocks half in and half out of the water, or i was on an inner tube floating down the river or i was eating yummy food under the shade of the big oak trees. it was wonderful and totally relaxing.

elizabeth and melissa are like sisters to me. they lived with my family in olympia many years ago and now live in san francisco. they both visited me in berlin and i have seen them every time i have come back to the states over the years. they are amazing and wonderful and i love them. they are twins. they have a dance studio in san francisco where they hold classes and different events. we were invited to ben's (melissa's fiance) birthday. it was a square dance party and it was awesome! square dancing is really fun. its american traditional folk dances, danced to songs played by fiddle and banjo. there is a caller who calls out the steps and the directions as everyone dances together. it was a blast!

the week in san francisco was great. i loved seeing my sister and friends, it was a well rounded visit with nature and city and good times even though it was grey and wet in the city.
