yeh there's so so curry in sf, but it ain't brick lane, y'know?

there's some outstanding indian in san jose, it's called amber, and it's in santana row. i took 25 people there last wednesday night, we ate till we couldn't eat anymore, and then, they brought yet more food.

Ease up Andy, I just had dinner, don't make me hungry *again*
BTW I've been in an EXCELLENT curry restaurant in Edinburgh a couple of months ago (down near the docks in Leith we had a superb meal for 5 quid) If you ever go to Edinburgh let me know, perhaps I can find the restaurant again on the internet

Good question, 'gus!! What kind of temperatures can we expect between before sunrise and after sundown near the lodge or up in the hills? Too cool for shorts and t-shirts I suspect - more like nylon shells and pile jackets or what?

PF,
The average high, for the valley in May, is around 73 degrees F and the average low is about 43 degrees F. So shorts, tee shirts and nylon shells in the daytime, jackets and/or hooded sweatshirts and long pants, at night.

In San Francisco you're gonna have to, that's a chilly city.

Great food town, though, we should be able to find a top meal on Thursday night. Chinatown? *drool*

Thanks Steve - I thought day time might be comfortable, but early morning might be chilly without warmer clothing. That will help us all plan I think. Looking forward to MAY big time.
