I thought traveling around the world was exhausting, but I must have forgotten how tiring being back in our routine&rsquo;s here at home were. I must say though, here we have the added bonus of living out of just one place -- the constant moving was so stressfull on the road.&nbsp; </p><p>So, what exactly have we been doing!?!?! <span class="thumbnail-image-float-right"><a href="http://wanderingwalkers.com/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2FIMG_7803.JPG&imageTitle=656867-1352522-thumbnail.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href, '_blank', 'width=800,height=600,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no'); return false;"><img style="width: 200px; height: 150px" alt="656867-1352522-thumbnail.jpg" src="http://wanderingwalkers.com/storage/thumbnails/656867-1352522-thumbnail.jpg" /></a></span>Well, many evenings have been devoted to catching up with friends and family, since it takes a lot of get togethers with people to recount the details of a year on the road. We had a wonderful reunion with a large group of friends at Madrone Lounge a couple weeks ago, where we got to connect with about 30 of our friends. It was so much fun not only seeing old friends, but also meeting some new, interesting people that night. </p><p><span class="thumbnail-image-float-left"><a href="http://wanderingwalkers.com/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2FIMG_7840.JPG&imageTitle=656867-1352528-thumbnail.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href, '_blank', 'width=800,height=600,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no'); return false;"><img style="width: 200px; height: 150px" alt="656867-1352528-thumbnail.jpg" src="http://wanderingwalkers.com/storage/thumbnails/656867-1352528-thumbnail.jpg" /></a></span>On the nights that we&rsquo;re not out and about, we&rsquo;ve managed to spend a disproportionate amount of time playing Wii Nintendo. In particular, both Jason and I have gotten really into Guitar Hero. I know this may sound juvenile, but I must say I&rsquo;ve tapped into some musical talent I never knew I had. Of course, I have to temper Jason and my tandem jam sessions with the <span class="thumbnail-image-float-right"><a href="http://wanderingwalkers.com/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2FIMG_7779.JPG&imageTitle=656867-1352534-thumbnail.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href, '_blank', 'width=800,height=600,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no'); return false;"><img style="width: 200px; height: 150px" alt="656867-1352534-thumbnail.jpg" src="http://wanderingwalkers.com/storage/thumbnails/656867-1352534-thumbnail.jpg" /></a></span>fact that Jason gets REALLY into the game, and kind of stresses me out sometimes. &ldquo;Come on baby, stay on beat&rdquo; is what I hear him uttering to me many a time.&nbsp; We've even managed to convert quite a few friends to the Wii playing ways, as most after-dinner events end up back at our pad playing the game. You know there's something pretty unique to the Wii when even my mom and dad are planning on buying one!!!</p><p><span class="thumbnail-image-float-left"><a href="http://wanderingwalkers.com/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2FIMG_7823.JPG&imageTitle=656867-1352545-thumbnail.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href, '_blank', 'width=800,height=600,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no'); return false;"><img style="width: 200px; height: 150px" alt="656867-1352545-thumbnail.jpg" src="http://wanderingwalkers.com/storage/thumbnails/656867-1352545-thumbnail.jpg" /></a></span>Last week we did many fun things.&nbsp; I had a lovely afternoon walk with Katie and Hank along the water looking out onto the Golden Gate.&nbsp; Jason and I also went to see Mika at The Warfield, a musical sensation we got really into on our trip. The funny thing is most people abroad, and espec
