One fine weekend

For Courtney, my glamorous friend.


One fine weekend before leaving the sunny Bay Area, Courtney and I saw kites in the marina.
Not just any kites. This was a festival. Kites that fought each other out of the sky. Giant rainbow octopus kites. Crappy little dime store kites.


Hungry, we headed towards the hills, to Berkeley's Rockridge District and my favorite intersection: Ashby and College. La Mediterranee (restaurant of my heart I miss you so!!) fed us delicious filo and kebabs.

Then, bursting, we indulged in home-made specialty ice cream at Ici


Then to "Once," and to music that affects its listeners, and certainly affected us. Eh Courtney?

Is this because she texted you and said you were missed? I was driving and couldn't text. We were over by Lake Merritt and thinking of you. How's Chicago?
