busy day! after wrestling the post office to return the apartment keys, ben took me to the sonoma valley (an hour away) for what he says are the best biscuits & gravy in this area. we also shared an eggs benedict w/ spinach, onions & bacon along w/ sparkly homemade lemonade.
later we headed to telegraph street and wandered about uc berkley (nice library, michael!). cody's books is no powell's, but it's better than most. a guy named scott hit on me. we went to the raleigh beer garden which seems it's like in another world.
then to the albany bay trails, which is as interesting for its landscape as it is for the funky art sculptures and paintings that decorate one of its fringes. it was a great place to explore and climb about. ben took pix and i'm hoping he sends them on.
we ended the evening at trader vic's, which ben found disappointing and where i discovered i'm not ever going to be anyone's drinking buddy. but the view was gorgeous and the sunset spectacular. i drove us home in ben's car. and now i'm tired! but i'll be in oregon tomorrow. oregon!
