Feeling at Home

Details

Published Date

Though I ended up spending almost two weeks in the Bay Area, this is going to be a rather short update.  Its shortness should not reflect on the area, the people, or my time there.  What it really comes down to is that while I was there I got to feel like I was at home.  As refreshing as it was, that does not make the best material for a travel blog, or whatever this is.  Between getting to participate in a family egg hunt, receiving brownies from my parents in the mail, showering, doing laundry, and eating meals prepared in an oven, IT WAS WONDERFUL! 

During my bouts of solo driving I had also made the decision to attend UC Berkeley for graduate school.  That decision made these two weeks just the beginning of my exploring, I had to make sure to pace myself.  In other words, for the Bay Area much more got added to my 'must-do list' than checked off, not for lack of checking.  

Another consequence of feeling at home, is that my camera often got left at home.  I did get a few pictures of the bridges, Berkeley and San Francisco (also some lizards but I will not include those):

If any of the students are doing their independent project on any of the Bay Area cities, please just let me know and I can get you more information.
