Priya celebrates her first birthday in the US. Her birthday was just a month away after we got married and came to the US on July 12, 2002. It was fun celebrating her birthday the first time together @ San Francisco. At the same time it was the worst debacle I had -
[1] I tripped over a wooden fence and twisted my knee and could not walk comforably (not again !). [2] I bought a new camera and it turned out to be the worst camera. It started eating the film half way through. You can see the quality of the pictures is so horrible that I'm feeling so bad right now. [3] I had booked a cruise that would take us around the coast of San Francisco Bay Area. The traffic to San Francisco on Highway 101 was so bad that it took us 2 1/2 hours from San Jose (it's just about 35 miles) to reach Pier 39 and we were of course late for the cruise.
Are these not enough? Well, I just wish I could just rewind and make things better, but Priya was happy that atleast she could spend the day with me and did not regret the day at all. Thanks to her for being so considerate. We ended up spending the evening at the foot of the Oakland-Bay bridge in San Francisco.
