Pacific Coast

To Market

My bounty from Saturday's Berkeley Farmers' Market: heirloom carrots, red potatoes, summer squash, radishes, tomatoes, and two of the most delicious peaches to have ever been grown.  Some of these went into a downright delicious dinner last night, and the remainder will be enjoyed for the rest of the week.  That is, until I can return next week and plunder the riches of California's locally farmed produce even more.

Adios Albuquerque, Bonjour Berkeley!

 

Has it been an inexcusably long time since my last blog post?  Yes.  Do I have an excuse?  Of course!  July has marked the beginning of a remarkable journey in which I have bid farewell to my hometown of Albuquerque, and hello to a new life in California.  My journey to Berkeley has been to pursue a Masters degree in Architecture, and begin an odyssey into a new chapter of my life.  My mom and I loaded up a moving truck, I took the reigns, and we drove across the country to sunny California!  I will have to say that one of the most strenuous parts of any move involves the packing and unpacking of stuff.  The unbelievable amount of stuff that one accumulates over the course of many years can be nothing short of overwhelming.  Without having too much of this 'stuff' to pack, I somehow still ended up with boxes upon boxes piled in my apartment.  Very slowly these boxes are being unpacked; and I am attacking them with the same ferocious procrastination as I attack most things. 

nineteen

 

Greetings all, I would like to extend myself in saying that my more than evident absence from my blog has not gone in vain.  The last several weeks have ushered quite a change, and the next several months will give rise to a tremendous amount of the same.  There are but nineteen (or twenty, depending on how much I procrastinate :P) days left until my adventure westward.  I recently returned from another trip to Berkeley, California equipped only with my iPhone for snaps.  Although I was somewhat relieved that I hadn't brought my camera on the trip, it was a bit strange not to be able to take a proper photograph.  That being said, here are some of the photos from along my latest journey to the Pacific coast, from Memorial Glade and the redwood trees of the UC Berkeley campus, to the heart sculptures of San Francisco's Union Square.  

In an Instant

Berkeley and San Francisco in an instant.  From the Albuquerque Sunport to the Berkeley Hills, and several spots in between.
