Song of the day: Candy by Mandy Moore
Don’t Stop Me Now play count: 14
Tuesday was a long drive from Vegas to Moraga, California, which is across the bay from San Francisco. True to Vegas form, we slept through the alarm and got off to a late start. We arrived just in time for a meaty, home-cooked dinner with the Breaux family. They gave us a few minutes to recover after dinner before putting us through an athletically strenuous initiation process. We passed.
The next morning we finally took Gen to the doctor, or Night Owl Pediatric Clinic. The wonderful doctor ruled out the flu and snuck me some antibiotics for pneumonia.
Over the next couple days, we explored Berkeley and the Cal campus and spent a lot of time wandering San Francisco.
In San Francisco, we walked up and down many hills, explored the waterfront, ate humongous sundaes from Ghirardelli Square, had drinks at a rooftop bar in the seedy but cool Mission District, and were serenaded at a tapas restaurant. We got in and out of the city on BART, which is a really cute acronym for a transportation system.In Berkeley, we shared a large, $6.50, refreshingly fresh and simple salad. Yes, we had to blog about it. We visited all the used bookstores and went to the library to research Yosemite, then hung out with my friend from highschool, Win, who has the most unreal apartment with a great terrace close to campus. We finished off the day with another meaty, home-cooked meal created by Nancy and Gary Breaux for the eating pleasure of their son, Alex. (We were happy too).
