We had a great visit with Angela and Michael. They came in Thursday and left Sunday evening. (I have a few pics that I will share whenever I get around to it.) Thursday we had dinner at one of Curt and my favorite restaurants--Trattoria La Siciliana. The food there is so great. And they have this amazing olive oil. Now being on WW I don't eat the bread before dinner--but here I make the exception. After dinner hit McNally's for some drinks and then the Conga Lounge. I had an amazing Mojito there. Good stuff!
Friday, Angela and Michael spent the day in the city. They pretty much got soaked--but saw a lot. (This was Angela's first visit to the Bay Area.) Friday night we saw Neko Case and Merle Haggard at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland. This theatre was so beautiful and so amazing. The carvings on the walls were spectacular. The theatre alone was a vision--coulda just gone to see that and no music. Anyway, Neko was good. And Merle wasn't bad. Tho. I took a little nap during his show. I was so exhausted from "partying" the night before and then getting up early for work. (I am too old for stuff like that.) Afterward, drinks with Michael's friends.
Saturday hung out in Rockridge in the morning--had breakfast at the Rockridge Cafe. Then in the afternoon we headed to Berkeley. Walked around Telegraph. There were only a few vendors out since it was raining. (And unfortunately the guy with the liberal bumper stickers wasn't out.) We walked around the campus, which I hadn't really done before. Beautiful campus. Then we got Michael a Cal shirt. Time for food again: Triple Rock Brewery for the best garlic fries. The home. We were all pooped. So we hung out and watched movies and vegged. Eventually it was time for food again. We ordered pizza from Zachary's. They make a pretty amazing deep-dish pizza. One slice is a meal.
Sunday we had lunch at Pyramid Alehouse on the way up to Sausalito. We lucked out that Sunday turned out to be a nice day. We walked around the marina, did a little shopping, bought salt water taffy and just hung out. Then we drove up to the Golden Gate to admire and take some pics.
It was a great visit and we look forward to them coming back. Now we owe Angela and Michael a visit to Denver.
