Thursday, May 29, 2008 - Rest Day in Berkeley, CA

It was a sunny day in Berkeley, CA and we took to the laid-back California style like we were born to it. We did get some things done - took our bike to a shop to get new chains put on, check the brakes, all that good stuff. We also picked up some postcards and stamps, caught up on bookkeeping, and worked a little on the upcoming routes. Sari tried out Shane's favorite coffee shop (twice, just to be sure) and liked it. And we went out to eat at a noodle restaurant nearby. It is definitely a treat having everything you need within easy walking distance - that's the way life should be. Tomorrow we may venture a little farther afield. But maybe not.
