When I was in high school, my dream college was Berkeley. My life path diverged (no complaints!) and today I finally got to “go to Berkeley!” Actually, we’ve been in the city a few days and have really enjoyed it. Frank and I like college towns. They are diverse and have so much energy. The city is larger than I imagined but easy to navigate. There are a lot of interesting neighborhoods and there are a lot of great (and surprisingly inexpensive) restaurants.

First time I’ve seen a whole shelf of books arranged by color!

Some of our favorite restaurants were the inexpensive, yet very good, restaurants near the campus.
A highlight for us was visiting the Cheese Board Co-op. It is one of Louie’s customers and he asked us to visit and thank them for their business.
Frank and Amry. The bakery/cheese shop is in North Berkeley’s Gourmet Ghetto neighborhood.
A few doors down is their pizza restaurant. They serve only one type of vegetarian pizza every day and people line up before it opens!
Truly, they have one of the best pizzas I have ever eaten. The crust is incredible!
