ON THE LAST DAY March 30 2009
Before leaving for LA, we did some last minute wandering around San Francisco and its outskirts. We were told to visit the Ferry Building at Pier 1 for some farmer's market type shopping and also for Acme bread. A lot of tourists think that Boudin (ya know, the place with the clam chowder bread bowl) is truth, but they are wrong.
We then made our way over to Berkeley. Kim loves this old bookstore there called Shakespeare and Co. They have an awesome selection of used and collectible books. She walked out of the store with old editions of the Bobbsey Twins. I walked out with a book on understanding Islam, and a newly translated version of the Tao Te Ching.
I admit that I judge people when I see them putting money in meters on a Sunday, especially when the sign says "Except on Sunday". I wasn't able to do such judging in Berekely, as their meters flashed "FREE" throughout the day. Kind of cool.
To end the northern tour, we stopped in 510 Skateboarding which had an awesome local artist exhibit, Upper Playground (the DTLA store is much better), and Bows and Arrows.
Now we're back in LA. And back to the grind.
