Looking at Mt Diablo

We made it to Berkeley in good time. I thought the traffic wasn’t bad, but John disagreed and he was driving. We stopped off on the way to take a hike on my beloved Seaview trail. Different dog in those days but I was pleased that I remembered the way, and surprised at how far I used to go and how at one time I even ran it! We had neither time nor inclination to go that far today but it was enough….

I took a picture of a strange man sitting on this bench admiring the view back in about 2011. Today I took a picture of John sitting on the same bench. If I remember when I get home, I’ll add that old picture in extras.
NB: Just did it....

So that was part of our trip down memory lane. Now we are at our friends’ house where we’ve talked for hours  over gin and tonics, a lovely dinner and a nice bottle of Zinfandel. We’ll continue the trip tomorrow with a walk up to Peet’s for coffee with a detour down Magnolia Street.
