So far the Year in Cali has been interesting, fun and very different.

Here're a few pics from life in the US: http://picasaweb.google.com/stevevosloo/LifeInCali

Went to the 20th Bridge School Benefit Concert, hosted by Neil Young. His son has severe speech and physical impairments, so 20 years ago Neil and his wife founded their own school for kids like Ben Young. To raise funds for the school they held a concert.

The 20th event was amazing. A 9-hour accoustic affair, the line-up included Neil Young, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Dave Matthews Band, and others.

A few of us on the program took a day trip to San Francisco. In the morning we hiked around the headland that ends up looking onto the Golden Gate Bridge.

In the afternoon we went to the free Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in Golden Gate Park.
