Our Christmas dinner...fresh oysters. Well, I got treats but they didn't share their oysters!

LeRoy and Ericka went to their favorite Asian market for fresh seafood Christmas dinner. We were going to have a crab dinner as it is in season and only 2.99 a pound but they were sold out everywhere for Christmas. Christmas crab...hum?

Christmas Eve...We had a bon fire at the Beach. (Can't do that back home) You can see me snuggled up on Ericka's lap.

Dec. 24th...I got one present early...a nice Christmas tennis ball!

We took a long drive through the pouring rain (day 5!) to Berkely just for a grocery store...Berkely Bowl. They said the drive was worth it because the produce was so fresh and plentiful. Ericka said the Brussel Sprouts looked almost good enough to actually eat.

Just a typical morning walk for LeRoy and I, in beautiful San Francisco!

December 15th...LeRoy took Ericka out for her birthday. They went to their favorite Pizza place,Pizza Orgasmica (looks cozy). They said they ordered a sausage, pepperoni, garlic, green olive and anchovy pizza. Yum...did they bring home a doggy bag for me...NO!
Then they went to a pub for the Mac Final Cut Pro Users group Christmas party. They said it was a lot of fun. The members played some of their short movies on a large projector. One sounded hysterical...it was a documentary on how the Koreans are stealing the market for black hair care products from black people. There were interviews with black (mostly loud and very flamboyantly gay) hairdressers and the Korean owners that make the products that deem to know nothing about black hair. They simply copy the ingredients from the black owned hair care products and sell them cheaper. However, Ericka said while everyone was cracking up... the two Korean girls in back didn't seem too amused

Look Gabi...just like Denmark. This windmill is in the Park only about four blocks from our apartment.

Like I mentioned earlier, we finally got out of the hotel and into our apartment. Here is the view from the living room of the Pacific Ocean in the day. The night shots, we are standing right in front of the building. Notice the fairly steep incline down to the beach (look at the bus). That's nothing compared to the hills downtown.

December 6th...LeRoy and Ericka went out on the town. They went to a place called Bottom Of The Hill to see Ericka's (Steve Dorocke) old friend play in a band called Freakwater. They have been on tour for awhile and he told Ericka they'd be coming through San Fran. They had a lot of fun and loved the band!

December 5th...HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRIS!!!!!!
(bet you never saw this cute picture Ericka took of you sleeping, last time you were in town...he he)

Once again dragged to some kind of body of water...they call it a hot tub. Luckily they brought me my blanket, while they sat there for hours with their damn bottle of wine.

However when we got back, the apartment still wasn't done and we had to go back to a hotel. We actually love this place, it's the first Motel ever built in San Fran and owned by the same family. Very cool art deco style and our room is like a mini apartment with a fully stocked kitchen. The owner has a dog I got to play with. She was kinda a bitch though...no really.

Well, we are all excited about getting away from that big dumb cat and getting back on the road to San Fran...

November 25th, Amber's (Ericka's much younger sister) 24th Birthday. Her friends came over and gave me tons of attention! Then they left me and LeRoy to have boys night, while they went out on the town for girls night. Ericka said she had a bit of fun laughing at everyone around her, especially the cheesy L.A. guys and their bad pick up lines. I guess the girls just laughed at everyone all night and had fun.
Ericka and LeRoy keep saying how they LOATH L.A. I don't mind because I AM a southern dog... and it's about 8o degrees out!
