Onto San Jose

Cara, Clay and my time together has ended :( We spent the last couple of days in Santa Rosa working on Clay's house... sanding and oiling posts and visiting 'yard sale's' in the area. We also watched a few movies and played Donkey Kong Country on super nintendo. I had a great time there and once again found myself saying "I wish I had more time to stay here longer!" seems like a recurring theme. I didn't want to leave LA and Jill, Danny, Kaylen, Jason, Kay and Chuck, I didn't want to leave Cara and Clay and I can see myself not wanting to leave San Jose.

After spending the day in Berkeley visiting the campus and climbing the massive clocktower landmark, Becc and I went shopping in the 'Cal Store' which was like a department store for 'Cal' merchandise! (University of California - Berkeley) Then we went down the street to a cheaper shop selling similar merchandise and Becc bought up big for her friends and family. My friends and family better enjoy the Miami stuff I get them!!!! hehe

In the afternoon we caught the BART to Fremont where Andy and Michelle picked us up to go back to their house in San Jose. BART=Bay Area Rail Transit.... All I can think of when I see the BART signs is that Simpsons episode where Homer forgets to pick up Bart from soccer practice and Santa's little helper says BART, BART.. BART BART BART!!!

After getting to Andy's place we went out to Sweet Tomatoe's for dinner. This was fantastic, one of the best meals I've had in the US. It was a buffet, but not a dodgy one like Smorgy's or Sizzler. They had good quality food and it was clean. You could make your own salad from almost any ingredients you could think of, they had soups, breads and dessert!!!!! Becc used her Macca's skill from 6 years ago to make a tower of ice-cream!! ehhe

Tomorrow is the Aquarium! yay fishies!
