To avoid crowds, and because it was in the middle of the week this year, we celebrated on the 16th.  We ate at one of our favorite veg restaurants, Souly Vegan, in Oakland.  I always get the battered kale with a chipotle aoli sauce.  Afterwards we drove around Alameda, which is where we saw this street light with all the tennis shoes in the area of the old Naval station.

This is us at a late holiday party in early January close to Three Kings’ Day.  I’m hiding the crutches, but the picture our friend took turned out very nicely in our friends’ lovely home in Dublin, California.
