Berkeley
is a beautiful place for a Walk. We Walked in a lot of beautiful neighborhoods -
4th Avenue, Solano Avenue, Thousand Oaks, the Gourmet Ghetto. We spent some
time on the UC Berkeley campus, along with several hundred football fans.
One
of my favorite moments from the weekend took place while we were Walking
downtown. We were passing a row of small cafes and shops when the Hookers for
Hooters van drove by, shouting and honking the van’s horn. The entire line of
Walkers is yelling and woohoo-ing back at them. I yelled, “We love our
Hookers!” Then I heard a man who was sitting at a table on the sidewalk in
front of one of the cafes yelled, “We love them too!”
Saturday
is always the most difficult of the three days. Berkeley was more challenging
but it wasn’t so tough. One thing I will say, though… Berkeley sure does have a
lot of ‘up’!
The
Walk back to Emeryville was quite scenic:
Bus
ride back to the island and a 1 1/2 mile Walk back to camp and Day 2 is
complete. I grabbed a quick dinner, a shower, talked with Dave for about 20 min
(real sentences and everything!) and promptly fell asleep.
