Keep your Feet in the Street

We got up early in the lovely little guest studio--it really is perfect, Pat.
I rode with Amy to see Jaden's school; he showed me around dutifully before going off to play. The rest of us went to walk around downtown Santa Cruz and then off to a wonderful little brunch spot, the "Cafe Brazil" I had a really good omelette --there were beans and rice dishes and polenta on the menu too. I loved the potatoes that came with the omelette. We said our good byes but here are a few shots of the kids:

Izzy, who really didn't want her picture taken at all:

We left from there to drive to Oakland.
It is really cold up here in the Oakland Hills. I think they call this area Piedmont Pines.
It's great to see B. and Jeanne and Michael. Kathryn and Michael seem to really be hitting it off and reconnecting very well--2 college kids.

We went for a fabulous sushi dinner in Berkeley, at Shattuck & Ward, Kirala. Everything was totally fresh and tasted perfect. From there we went to College and Alcatraz to the Organic Ice cream store. Best ice cream I've ever had in America! I had pistacchio and chocolate. Next time I'm getting the cardomom. Kathryn had mint and it was so much like the mint right out of the garden. Bob had strawberry-rose. Great flavors!!

Came home, laughed and talked a lot. And we watched House Hunters International--dreaming...
