8/17 Berkeley

On Sunday, Aleks and I drove over to the Berkeley campus to check out her old stomping grounds. We went by Sproul Plaza and walked by Wheeler Hall, both of which I know from accounts of the '60s protests that took place.



Later in the day, we walked around outside the campus, specifically around Telegraph Avenue, which presented an assortment of bookstores, arts & crafts vendors, and more than a few good low-price restaurants. For some reason, we ate hot dogs and then later that afternoon we had some beer and yogurt. Local color included two angry hippies and a middle-class white boy who, for political reasons, was begging for change.
