Saturday the 17th Pema and Eos had lunch with friends at restaurant near Hotel Kabuki, and were joined by the Cherry Blossom Queens (turns out the retreat starts off with the annual Cherry Blossom Festival).

The Eyjafjallajokull volcano eruption and cancellation of European flights has had a huge effect on this retreat: Wol and Gaya's flights were cancelled, and they could not come. On the other hand, Genesis, whose flight back to Italy was postponed, has been able to attend some of the retreat.
Eliza, Genesis, Eos and Pema wandered into Golden Gate Park, where by coincidence crowds gathered to celebrate 420 Day.
Tuesday night we went to a nearby Jazz club and heard a Blues band, fronted by Edna Love (above, with Genesis).
