Daniela's one cool Czech. And one cool chick.

I met her in Paris in 1999 when she worked at my favorite hostel there (the "Young and Happy" on Rue Mouffetard). She gave me and everyone else fantastic underground tips about things to see and do in Paris. Now she's moved to San Francisco so I have a chance to return the favor.

We met for coffee at Cafe Abir in SF. Within five minutes Eric, another San Franciscan who once stayed at the hostel, recognized her as he walked by... It turns out that a friend of Eric's designed the camera in my Nokia cel phone. (That's the same phone that I take these photos on, and the same phone that I'm developing software and metadata structures for in my class at Berkeley.)
