18-23 October
The night of October 18, we arrived in Oakland. We stayed with Fred's sister Sue and her husband Eric in Rockridge, an awesome neighborhood in the north side of the city. After being in the wild country of Yosemite, it was comforting to be met with great bakeries, coffee shops, markets & cafes here. We ate at the delectable Zachary's Pizza first thing when we got into town. How much we appreciated that hot rich tomato pesto pizza and beer! In stupid yuppie poser Berkeley, my wallet was stolen -- the thief threw it into the street after taking the cash, driver's license, and brand new expensive National Parks Pass, but left the credit cards! This added an extra waste of time making phone calls to cancel credit cards and a dreadful trip to the DMV. We visited two of my great aunts who live in Berkeley and Pacifica near Rockaway Beach. We also saw the very interesting San Fransisco Maritime Historic Park with the ocean-going tug Herculues. Civilization was nice for five days but we look forward to Point Reyes!
