Kerstin,
I fear you only miss winter because you do not have it!
Let's see what else I can drag out my fading silicon valley memory...
Mt View. had a bakery with the best choc cheesecake ever...
Blue Angels were fun at the naval air station (now closed I think)...
Loved the xmas tree that used to be 'planted' on the 280 / 101 overpass before the overpass was connected...
Garlic in Gilroy...
Beach Blanket Babylon at the Club Fugazy in SF...
Getting off flights at San Jose onto the tarmac and walking into the building...
Learning to windsurf at the pond off hwy 17 before it climbs out of the valley toward Santa Cruz...
Fun, fun, fun,
Mike
