The next part of our trip was spent in San Jose. Following the usual pattern, we played games, laughed, watched funny movies, laughed, ate delicious food, laughed, listened to music, laughed, talked and laughed.
Most mornings, we enjoyed breakfast on the patio with a view of the lemon tree, lavender, and hummingbirds. One morning I saw at least four, and sometimes they hovered over the yard and seemed to be watching me. As one hummingbird flew near the lemon tree, the early morning sun reflected in its iridescent feathers so brightly that it looked like a small flash of red light in the sky. It was truly beautiful.
We learned an outdoor game that was new to us. The name is
"kubb" (click the link if you want to read more on Wikipedia). We played several games together throughout the week, at the Haggerty house, and also later at the beach during our Santa Cruz ocean trip.
