The Beauty at the Bay


We got on the plane from Portland to Oakland, California on Monday after the Ducks game. Elly and Avi picked us up from the airport, and after a little stop at the Berkeley marina and a few hours of playing with Uriel, we had outstanding pizza (maybe the best I've ever had) at Zachary's.
The next day we took on San Francisco with Avi, going along the piers from the Embarcadero, through Fisherman's Wharf to Ghirardelli Square, stopping in to see all the old gaming machines at Musee Mechanique. Then we tried to get to the Golden Gate Bridge, but seeing (or rather not seeing...) it was completely fogged over, we went to the beautiful Palace of Fine Arts instead. Then we took the classic Cable Car ride up Powell Street, and returned to Berkeley for dinner with Molly Rosenfeld and Sekey.
Wednesday we spent with Elly, driving around Frisco, starting at the Golden Gate Bridge, continuing along the Pacific, through Haight-Ashbury and The Castro, and straight into a crazy traffic jam. At night we had the pleasure to babysit Uriel. Who could ask for more?
