After the indulgent breakfasts, we simplified them a bit with a cinnamon muffin from a local branch of Boudin San Francisco Sourdough.

We left Powell Station about noon and took the BART across the bay to meet Carol Fabretti, her husband Cy and son Cyrus. Although Barbara and Carol are 2nd cousins they had never met before. There was lots of catching up to do and we exchanged stories for hours. Carol is going to try to attend the family reunion in September.

Back on the BART, we went 3 stops further out to meet Chris Pisarra and his wife Gail. Although Nick and Chris are 2nd cousins, they had never met before either. We enjoyed dinner, conversation, and their sculpture museum home.
Chris drove us back to town, stopping at the Ferry Terminal so we could watch the fascinating light show on the Bay Bridge.

This wonderful, heartwarming day was made possible by Barbara's genealogy—finding relatives all over the world.
