Lulu and Pop Stop By

Lulu and Pop made a quick trip to Santa Fe for two reasons. The first was to visit us. The second was a college reunion visit with Lulu's friends. It was fun to see them!

Zozobra

Zozobra is a strange little celebration that has been going on since 1924 which involves a lot of music and dance and the burning of old man gloom, Zozobra. We've heard about it, but this was the first time it was back in its full glory since Covid. 70,000 people showed up. It was down the road. We went and had fun.

Walking in to park with Zozobra watching over.

We are ready for the party.

Walk along the Sausalito Shoreline.

Friends forever.

Sweet adult crew.
