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,
Nathan
