Visiting Greg and June

By | Homes and Interiors | No Comments

In April 2007, I featured the house of our friends, Greg and June in the Bay Area.  When I updated my wordpress, the photos were lost!!  It’s just words left 🙁 Previous entry  Visiting the Dotsons April 30, 2007

So it’s a good thing I took photos again!!!

They are a very creative family.  I wrote about their business before

Joy Sushi

As soon as we arrived, we saw our good friend, June and family!!  Greg, Thia and Devon.  They were just in Manila and now we were happy to be in their side of town.  They took us to Joy Sushi!  It was supposed to be Old Town Sushi but the line was long.  There are so many restaurants in B Street or in San Mateo in general, so it is not a problem to look for a place to eat 🙂 So we walked down a few meters to get to Joy Sushi from Old Town Sushi
