"Isabel Allende lives in Marin (north of San Francisco), which is mostly cold and foggy. Not much tanning there. West Hollywood is a gay enclave. Tanning is the least of their interests." Nice to know and NOT out of envy! I like a cold and foggy weather and I'm familiar with the Sausalito area (Grice's son, Timothy, lives there, and enjoys his holidays further north -- in the Russian River, so go figure). Cheers J. L.
