San Jose again

Last week it was a trip to San Jose for work. I flew out to Oakland Monday night, just after getting back from the NYC weekend. I stayed at Anthony and Maria's place so that I didn't have to stay in the boring hotel room in San Jose. Plus, there's the very wonderful bonus of seeing my friends, BBQ in the back yard, great beer at Cato's Ale house, and some fine Belgian beers at a new bar for us, The Trappist in downtown Oakland. Final bonus, no one was shot from our group in Oakland. Here I am with Maria enjoying a fine ale, and there's Bryan ingesting some sort of Mexican tapa. I think he enjoyed it. I had a little too much Sangria at this joint.

Trip to San Jose this week.

I travel to San Jose, CA quite often for work since my company's division is based there. This week, I had a red eye flight from SFO-BOS on Thursday night, but before that, I made my way to Oakland to see the A's take on my home team, the Minnesota Twins. My friend Maria, who is my old roommate Anthony's girlfriend, joined me at the game. This is what $20 gets you for seating at the Oakland Mausoleum on the morning of the game on Stubhub, nice! The twins lost in the end, but it was fun to wear my Kirby Puckett jersey in another ball park. I just barely made my 11:20 flight back to BOS, but slept the whole flight back. Gotta love the exit row.
