Yesterday, Sunday Afternoon (1-3PM), I signed for The Sunday Driving Adventure- in a Van with 8 other seniors with our capable driver, Ralph. Most of us used canes or a walker -so the activity was all inside the van. Ralph was an excellent driver. Thank You, Ralph for your excellent service. I enjoyed the outing very much and I felt good getting out of my gilded cage(my apartment). Too bad we were not able to take photos of the Golden Gate Bridge/San Francisco Bay views since it was a sunny afternoon with no fog and excellent visibility from Grizzly Peak Rd.

Ralph drove us to Tilden Regional Park, Berkeley Hills, UC Berkeley Campus, Rose Garden, UC Stadium Downtown Albany and along Ashby Street with the historic Claremont Hotel.

The drive gave me nostalgia and pleasant memories. It reminded me of our Pinole California Years, Berkeley Football Games and Dinners at the Claremont Hotel celebrating Macrine's birthday and a few other special occasions in our married life when were still residents of Pinole, California. Allow me to repost my blog on our Pinole, California years as follows:
