Oakland 30 October 2021

Dami took us to the Lakeside Farmers Market where we found breakfast, then a long walk up into the hillside settlement above their house. From the top, you can see downtown Oakland, the new eastern segment of the Bay Bridge, and the mess that was once Oak Knoll Naval Hospital and is on its way to becoming a gentrified community.

After our walk, we had an early dinner at Brotzeit Lokal on the estuary between Oakland and Alameda. I can't believe I didn't take a picture of the magnificent platter of sausages, spaetzle, two kinds of sauerkraut and a huge pork shoulder, all cooked to perfection, plus a nice salad and Oh boy! the beer!

Rich took what may be our favorite recent picture of ourselves...

Next day, Sunday: no pictures. Stops at Oliver's Market, Costeaux Bakery, and Catelli's for lunch. And home to sweet Caspar.
