arch tour + Berkeley


Today started with Rick Evans' walking architecture tour of San Francisco, which is unique and less touristy than the others offered. It was a small group of five, including myself. We visited a few, not so easily accessible green roofs and a mixture of old and new buildings. It was quite informative and enjoyable. After that, I got a small salad at a Boudin Bakery location and then took BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) to Berkeley. It's so easy to get from place to place here. I love it. I had downloaded a podcast series from Berkeley's iTunes U, so I could take a self-guided tour. It was pretty neat, and I learned a lot about the school as I was wandering around. I then hiked through some of the campus hills and later made my way back to downtown Berkeley for a veggie sandwich and a cool drink. It was another tiring, but very fun afternoon.
