Trainings as part of the LIFT programme

One of the nice things about being in the LIFT team is the opportunity to attend some training sessions. The staff at HOBA, organizes for the LIFT team, lectures and discussions from well-known non-profit organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Since there are three LIFT teams at HOBA(the San Francisco team, the Silicon Valley team and the East Bay team), the meetings are hosted in either of the three locations.

This time, we had a 7:00pm meeting at SFO on Howard Street. Holly and I decided to car-pool(and save gas). I picked her up from her office at 6:00pm. SF City is about 30 minutes from Palo Alto. We got on the freeway and after chatting for more than an hour, found overselves just about 20 miles away. We were stuck in traffic that moved so ridiculously slowly. In the end, as Holly says, we made an executive decision to return back home. The others had gone ahead and made it in good time.

Meanwhile, Holly and I laugh about our excursion and the unforgettable trip halfway to San Francisco.
