Annika has been busy the last couple of weeks with races at Mt. Sac and Laguna Hills. Here are some pics.
At the Elementary School race, she place 15th out of about 150 5th graders.
Here she is before one of her races.
And one more after her race, loading up on sugar!

This weekend we went to Encinitas to see a rare ocean phenomena known as bioluminescence caused by a red tide.
By day, a red tide is unsightly and uninviting, with water the color of coffee. But at night, during this unusual phenomenon caused by a plankton bloom, the waves are a brilliant, almost neon blue. This wonderfully surreal scene has played out almost nightly along San Diego beaches for the last few weeks.
Here are a couple of cool pictures of what we saw. The waves were coming about every 30 seconds and we spent almost two hours watching.
Here is a picture of Anjali and the kids (and Lizzy).

Usain Bolt (the world’s fastest man) came to visit at the local college (Mt. Sac). Anjali took the kids to see him as he hosted a running clinic. Usain has a 9.58 second World record for the 100M along with a host of others. He spoke about his training regimen and complained about the heat in So Cal! Isn’t he from Jamaica?
Here are the kids making their way onto the track to see him.
