Next stop: Nevada City, to visit Andy’s cousin Erika and her kids Peter and Karolina, who had a hilarious conversation with Siri on my phone. Peter is an avid reader of the New York Times for Kids section, which Andy copy-edits. Andy and I made a pilgrimage to the nearby nude beach on the Yuba River, and later there was partner yoga in the yard.

Heading west from San Francisco, we connected with Michael in Oakland and went for a walk around Lake Merritt, revisiting the Fairyland of Andy’s childhood. Then we caravanned to Yuba City and spent the day tromping down the hill from Michael’s yurt to the river and back, checking out the Museum of Found Objects and the beautiful colorful flowers and rocks along the way.
