Once again we arrived not knowing where we were going to stay. I couldn’t get ahold of my cousin and neither could Auren. Eventually Auren’s cousin in Berkeley came through and we had a wonderful time with them. Hospitality was amazing as usual.

First night we went to Berkeley for a night on the town, drank a few beers, Auren more than a few, got some late night food and called it a night. We got up pretty early the next day and drove to see the some Redwood trees and climb a mountain that was near and dear to Auren’s heart. We climbed rocks and hiked a bunch until we decided to see Haight Ashbury and the Castro District. Both were well worth it, talking with local hippies and visiting some great local eateries.

We had a beautiful dinner with Auren’s Uncle and soaked up their wisdom like a sponge.

I got an ear infection…and we left the Bay Area.
