Breck returned home from Iran on Sunday full of tales from the art world. Betsy and I had cleaned house so the only thing out of place was us and our cat Sissy Sue. My sister Sherri arrived early to prepare for Breck's return with pizza in hand. Later she decided caviar was in order for Breck's birthday.
After presents and wine we headed for Berkeley. We'll be staying for several days with Sherri and sister Tonya who is arriving on Tuesday evening.
Monday morning I walked the hills of Berkeley with my backpack. As Betsy says, I need to keep in shape. The streets are cut through with 'Indian Trails,' - walkways often with steps that allow uphill foot traffic to take shortcuts up hill rather than to follow the contours along the roads. They make for a good workout. Half an hour or so uphill followed by the same downhill gets the sweat started, even in mid-fifties temperatures.
On my return I did a little yard work while Betsy and Sherri walked the dog. Then we met for a scrumptious Mexican lunch.
Later we did a little much needed walking to work off lunch and to get a few geocaches. Maybe I'll stay in shape!
There is a Golden Gate out there somewhere !
