Flowers in San Francisco

I recently visited San Francisco on a business trip. New England is entering fall and the summer flowers are dying away. I am always amazed when I go to the Bay Area and see the flowers.

I saw this small planting and really liked the blue flowers.

Sushi in Seattle

Last night, I went to a great sushi place in Bellevue, WA. I Love Sushi is a very authentic sushi restaurant. We tried oysters (see above) and a variety of sashimi.

I like most kinds of raw fish, but I draw the line at fish eggs and sea urchin. The funny thing is that sea urchin is a very expensive sushi, so there is always someone who is willing to eat mine.

Prime Italian Steakhouse

We arrived in Lenox and only had a short time before we needed to be at Tanglewood. I hadn't done any research on places to eat, so we decided to ask at the hotel. My wife found a listing of several places in the lobby and picked one out. The person at the front desk said that they send a lot of people there.

Prime Italian Restaurant is located in historic Lenox and is only a few miles away from Tanglewood. The atmosphere inside seemed more like a place you would find in a major city instead of western Mass. But, our waitress was friendly and helpful. And the food was excellent. I had pasta that was perfectly cooked with a fantastic sauce.
