Absolutely gorgeous! <br /><br />And speaking of gorgeous...that young archaeologist isn't bad to look at either. Guess I need to spend more time watching the BBC! :)<br />As for NaNo, it's going to be a no for me this year. As much as I'd LOVE to write, write, write, I need to spend November trying to publish my YA thriller. So, it's off to the query trenches for me. But, like you, I feel the "pull" because, ya know, everyone else is doing it. Peer pressure sucks. :)Kristin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15119967346326579747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1264371747287044302.post-67101172158195472402014-10-27T13:19:41.335-04:002014-10-27T13:19:41.335-04:00San Francisco is the most beautiful city I've ...San Francisco is the most beautiful city I've ever visited and ever since I went I've thought how much I'd love to live there!

Glad you got some sun! I'll have to check out the archeologist, too. I know what you mean about SA not coming up much in school--it's a lot more popular now as a travel destination. As you know, I am leaning toward Nano, but only due to peer pressure and only to keep working on a novel I am already writing just for fun.
