Day 6 - San Francisco

Another full on day today. We started with a trip to Berkeley which is beautiful. Leafy streets and quirky shops (and an Apple store). I bought a new case for my ipad mini, of course. I had such a good time in Berkeley that it completely slipped my mind to take any photos.

We then went home and my task was to write a work milestone before I could have a treat of another outing. I buckled down and got it over and done with ...

So my treat was to have a look at all the America's cup happenings. The teams are working in a place that was once (I think) a military base and is now a very unloved and derelict area, in contrast to the high tech work going on inside all of the team sheds! 



For dinner we went to the Off the Grid event - a street of 10 or more food trucks with different types of foods to choose from. There was a fantastic festival atmosphere with loud music, children running around and the aromas of food. The thing I noticed was that there is not really a 'Californian look'. The street was teaming with so many different fashions and non fashions, people of all types, shapes, arrangements and a riot of colour. It was a treat to sit with my falafel sandwich and watch the world go by.




This boy obviously didn't enjoy the music as much as I did. Another fabulous day. Thank you so much to Guy and Carolyn for taking me out to the coolest places!
