We ventured across the San Francisco Bay to visit a coffee shop. We've had their coffee at a couple of our favorite breakfast places in the city and it was great to finally get to their store in Oakland.
It did not disappoint because they have lots of good coffee to choose from and the service was friendly. We loved going to Peerless Coffee and Tea.
During our wonderful time sampling tasty wines at Joseph Jewell, our wine educator Andy mentioned that a nearby restaurant is great for lunch. That place is called Backyard.
Mijo and I went there after our wine tasting. We love the food, the service and the setting. It really felt like we were dining at our backyard. We love it!
Mijo and I were in Sonoma County to shop for a couple of bottles of Pinot Noirs. Where else to find great tasting Pinots other than the Russian River Valley area of Sonoma.
We went to Joseph Jewell to wine taste. We love their wines. Andy, our wine educator, was very knowledgeable and all around nice guy. Thanks guys!
In my years of living in the San Francisco Bay Area, I cannot believe that I have not been to Treasure Island. There is always a first time, as they say.
My trip there was not even planned. We went there after a coffee trip to Oakland. The views of downtown San Francisco from Treasure Island are nothing short of amazing.
The Yerba Buena Center for the Arts just concluded its festival of Filipino movies called The New Filipino Cinema which ran from June 9, 2016 through July 3, 2016.
Mijo and I were fortunate to see three very good movies. Miss Bulalacao, Sleepless and Taklub. Thank you YBCA. We truly enjoyed the movies you've presented.
Mijo and I were fortunate to see the latest production of Carmen by San Francisco Opera. We heard the shows have been sold out but Mijo was able to get us tickets on Friday night show.
As expected, the cast and the entire production delivered marvelously. We truly enjoyed Carmen.
I had never realized how long Mijo and I have been going to the Saturday Farmers Market at the Ferry Building until I saw my old photos of the farmers market.
I was browsing old photos the others and noticed that I have been taking pictures of one of my favorite flowers or scents. Dropping by Eatwell Farm's stall at the farmer's market is one of to dos whenever I'm in the area.
