Proud to have friends who live in Berkeley ...

is what our friend Ken said after a visit over the weekend. Ken works for a small cruiseline for 2 months and then is off for 1 month ... and then back to work again. He stopped by to see us in his off time. He came in Saturday at about 6 p.m. We ordered pizza from North Beach Pizza. Our fave pizza place. About 8 we headed over the Richmond bridge to meet another friend, Eric, for drinks at the Marin Brewing Company. We headed back to Berkeley about 10:30 and I was worn out. I get tired early these days. It is kinda sad. Though I did stay up for a little while and to watch "Saturday Night Live."
Sunday we had lunch at a Thai Buddhist temple near our house. We heard that they had good, cheap food. And it was. The food was amazing. I had some green beans with dry curry--it was so GOOD! We all enjoyed our food. And it was such a nice day to sit outside and eat.
Later we had dinner at our fave place. Yup, you guessed it ... Triple Rock Brewery. We had drinks, dinner and of course, garlic fries. Ken liked them so much we ordered more. So I got to bring some home. Woo-hoo!
Monday morning when Ken was getting ready to head out he said how proud he was to have friends who live in Berkeley. What a wonderful compliment.
So when are YOU coming to visit us?
