A rare Thursday off. Lunch at Green's in Fort Mason. A long walk along the San Francisco waterfront on a surprisingly warm late January day. Nice!




Saturday feature: We hosted a potluck dinner for several of the research staff working on our team, including Jinwen, Jenny, Rita, Yan, and Ailu.

Sunday feature #1: Cicada (we hear them frequently, but never before saw one here).
Sunday feature #2: Walking the Southern Ridges, from Vivo City to Kent Ridge MRT.



We visited familiar areas, but found new features and new views.
