Santa Clara --> Berkeley

The only time we got lost during the long weekend was going to D's cousin's house in Santa Clara. I'll just blame it on Yahoo! maps, which told us to make a left instead of a right. Santa Clara actually reminded us a lot of Irvine. D's cousin's wife cooked us a delicious dinner of short ribs with a vegetable puree, mashed potatoes, rolls and salad. I called it "gourmet" but she described it as "rustic".




The next morning we headed up to Berkeley. We had fun posing with k around campus. We couldn't resist buying her a couple of things at the student store. Notice that I dressed k in her tie-dye outfit so she would blend in.

Sather Gate


I don't think this bridge has a name.


Can you believe the student store on campus sells dried squid? Ew. They also had sushi to go, which was unheard of when we were there.


We stopped at one my favorite Berkeley cafes--Cafe Strada.


Lunch was at Zachary's. Deep dish pizza--yum. Yes, it still deserves a place on D's restaurant list.
