West Coast Spring 2019, Part One
April 4 – 15 A little over a month elapsed between our return from Florida and the start of our next trip which would include ten days on the west coast following a pattern now long familiar to us, two four-night stretches in Oakland with Jessica and Kris and three days in Sacramento exploring California’s […]
The Holidays 2019, Part Six
December 20 – January 7 The next day, Saturday, Joanna and Mary went into San Francisco for the last day of an exhibit at the de Yong Museum on Contemporary Muslim Fashions, and I bade farewell to Norm to head back to Oakland. By early afternoon Jessica, Kris and I were ready for some refreshments […]
The Holidays 2019, Part Five
December 20 – January 7 We regrouped after parking the car at the apartment and then set out on BART for San Francisco and our dinner destination, Zero Zero. This is the restaurant we used the morning after Jessica and Kris’ wedding, and we were looking forward to the meal as we recalled how good […]
The Holidays 2019, Part Four
December 20 – January 7 We left the condo late in the morning and not sure about what we’d be doing later in the day food wise, made a stop at, yes, Juanitas to get that Carnitas burrito that had been eluding us. We would split it, providing just the right amount of ballast in […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Yosemite, Part Two

West Coast Spring 2018 – Oakland, Part Two
June 14 – 17 After returning to the apartment, I cleaned up and then Kris, James and I drove up to Berkeley to visit one of our favorite breweries, Jupiter. By a stroke of luck, we found on street parking directly behind the place and after entering, were seated outside on the back patio, the […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Oakland, Part One
June 14 – 17 How many times have we traversed I-5 through the Central Valley? Too many to count; recalling those early days when no services were available except for a lone gas station or two until the first real restaurant appeared at the Harris Ranch. We haven’t stopped there to eat in quite some […]
