The girls all climbed into bed and fell fast asleep as I started the drive back up toward Berkeley.  I was not expecting the relatively short drive back to the bay area to involve endless construction barriers along a curvy, perilous climb up and down a mountain range in the pitch black night, but that was pretty much the experience.  Thankfully there was a stretch-limo taking it very slow, so I locked onto its taillights and focused on staying off the concrete walls.

It was a delight to reconnect with my childhood friend, Perry, to meet his wonderful family, and to get a glimpse into his world.  We were lucky to spend a full day with them, to explore the Berkeley Marina and enjoy its view across the bay, and to get a good taste of Berkeley.
