I am visiting my cousin in Oakland. This morning, despite the jetlag, I went
cycling with him in the hills above Oakland and Berkeley. The road was not as
good as the ones I have around Alicante, more bumpy and with some potholes that
make the descending somewhat perilous--but oh, the views! The bay, with the two
bridges, just awesome. So our speed over the modest 25 km ride (but with a fair
amount of climbing) was slower than normal because of the need to stop and take
pictures. On one occasion we even saw a younger version of Ansel Adams:

And the views were like this:

Later in the day, we had lunch in Japantown and a long walk around
Haight-Ashbury. A good first day in California.
Cheers,
