After an enormous meal at Cheeseboard pizza in Berkeley Brandon and I ventured out into the "wilderness" in Tilden park. It is just outside of the city and is filled with towering redwoods (pictured behind us) and non-native eucalyptus trees. What it created was a beautiful forest for us to walk and chat. It was a nice break and a gorgeous place to catch up. It seems like with how busy life is Brandon and I have to go on vacation just to get to know each other again!
By the way - here is a picture of where we ate our pizza - there is a park strip just outside of the place we buy the pizza where lots of people eat. Really this place is a sight to behold. It is SOOOOO good - today was like a 4 cheese pizza with roasted heirloom tomatoes. Yum!
Here is the crowd in front of the restaurant. Just in case you didn't read before - Cheeseboard is a collective restaurant meaning that all the employees own a share of the business and they trade their jobs from time to time. They have on pizza a day and you can get a whole, half, or slice. They have expanded this menu to include one kind of salad a day. Only in Berkeley.
PS - when we went to pick up our "economy" car the lady told us to pick any car along this one aisle. So we picked the ford mustang :-) When we left through the gate the lady said "there weren't any economy's?" I responded, "the other lady told us we could have this one." She let us go...lol!
sounds like you are having a great time. you both deserve a vacation. I like the car.
