They have bigger squirrels — plus other sights of Berekeley

Posted on by

I watched this squirrel who is much larger than my little Harris’ Antelope Squirrel of the Sonoran Desert. I watched this guy scramble up the chain link fence and dance around the tennis players.

Our trip to help our son post surgery plus spend time with our daughter and DIL, has come to a close. We’ll see them in a few weeks at Christmas, which seems unbelievable! Time flies when you’re having fun.

Here are a few sights I saw on my way to the French bakery near the hotel:

Morning Glories!

This was a Bonzai in front of a house.

A very happy house, indeed!

I think this is some sort of a maple, but I’ve never seen one shaped like this.

At the bakery waiting in line. My son said this is the best bakery in the East Bay.

When a place is good and has a reputation there is a line. I waited in line for 30 minutes for sandwiches. They sold out within an hour Saturday, so Sunday I went right at 11 a.m. when they start selling them. Once inside, I read the sign that said: “Sandwiches Tuesday through Saturday.”

Oh well. I found a few other things to try.

Whew! Back at the hotel with a box of goodies. Ready to visit the kids for one last time before we head home.

Once home, it’s unpacking, laundry, grocery shopping and feeling grounded again.

What on the agenda for your week?

  3. I bet it will be good to get home! We are (fingers crossed) perhaps going to see some snow by the end of the week. The high country is finally getting snow but it’s still iffy for the metro areas. I hope there’s more by Thanksgiving.

    I’m reading this prior to breakfast. Those pastries look amazing 🙂

    • I am looking forward to getting home! It’s going to be a busy week getting caught up, appointments and my photography class, but I’ll be home! The pastries were amazing! I hope you get snow! My friend in Santa Barbara said they got nine inches of rain in one day. We only had one rainy day in Berkeley. The rest missed us.

  5. The food looks so delicious!! Sorry you didn’t get your sandwich. I hope your son is on the mend and well! That squirrel is a bit chubby, I suppose he is breaking into the bakery at night an eating all of those sandwiches! 😂

  7. Hmmm. Pedicure. Gilded age walking tour at local park. Book club. Two off Broadway shows. Critique and writing and writing classes. And I’m doing laundry now and about to go to trader Joe’s to add a little spice. Croissants look amazing
