Today my sister and I are going to spend some time in Berkeley, and I can’t wait. We’re going to go to 4th Street which has a bunch of fun shops, restaurants, and lots of “people watching” opportunities.
The impetus for the whole trip (besides being able to spend some time together) is that one [...]
