The View from the Quinns Apartment( in the SFO Financial District)looking towards Oakland, CA
Several weeks ago, Dinah and I had spent 2 hours visiting Alix and Brendan at their luxurious penthouse apartment at the 19th Floor of a 20-story apartment building with all the modern amenities and a few blocks from the heart of the San Francisco Financial District.
I am so delighted that Alix and Brendan has the financial capability to enjoy luxurious upscale city living which is only about a 10-12 minutes walk to their work place. Incidentally, Alix and Brendan are both software engineers with Bachelor Degrees in Computer Science from Cornell University, Ithaca, NY. Alix and I have the same birthday date ( December 20) but sixty years apart. When I turned 90 on December 20, 2024, Alix will be exactly 30 years old. She is the oldest daughter of my son, Dodie.
We also played Philippine Style Mahjong for 2 hours. I am not writing the exact address of their Penthouse Apartment. However, I am posting a few pictures taken during our visit. If you are familiar with San Francisco skylines you will probably know the exact location of Alix and Brendan Apartment.
Here are some photos during our visit just recently. It was a foggy and rainy afternoon and the Bay View from the 19th floor was obscured. Their apartment has two balconies. If you have acrophobia, the balconies is not a place for you. Here are the photos including our mahjong game.
My 7-Pairs Nearly Winning Hand with a Joker-If you are playing with Bets-A 7-pair Hand is worth 4x than an ordinary mahjong hand. Just waiting either for the 7 circle or 2 Character to WIN! Note I also have 6 flowers. If I have the other 2 flowers, my hand will be worth more, If I won.
