Sept 16-19, 2009 - In NYC with Frank and Lilan

We were very pleased to welcome aboard Grand Fromage, our friends Frank and Lilan from Alameda, CA. We had originally met Frand and Lilan at Emery Cove Marina in Emeryville in October, 2003, where we docked our previous boat, Copperopolis. While we were boat neighbors at Emery Cove, Frank and Lilan were so welcoming to us and constantly invited us on their boat to share Frank's famous pasta.

We enjoyed sharing the sights of Manhattan with Frank and Lilan.

Lilan appears to like that picture.

Since it was the year of taking Grand Fromage guests to see the Blue Man Group, you guessed it....
