Jim and I are at the Courtyard Marriott in San Ramon while visiting his mom and brother in adjacent Dublin.  I’m using their business Internet to blog, transfer photos and stream music from iTunes—not very business-like, I know.

Most hotels offer a free continental breakfast of sorts.  I asked the front desk clerk how much breakfast costs here, and it’s $11 per adult, so I get the feeling Jim and I will be eating breakfast elsewhere (for $11, we’ll eat somewhere else).

This hotel room is amazing, and the view is pretty nice as well.  The one thing that bothers me is the window—it tricks you into thinking you can open the window, until you realise that there’s actually two window panel:  the first being glass, and the second being plastic.  I guess they built the plastic panel over the glass one to keep people from jumping out the windows, or so Jim tells me.

Now it’s off to breakfast at some place called the Copper Skillet.
