After watering the plants and doing the big crossword (in 31 minutes, hey baby I still got it) I decided to walk to Cal Avenue. Which I did, and browsed the farmers market. Kinda wish I ever cooked any more, it would be fun to buy some ingredients. But no.
Was disappointed to find that the Backyard Brew coffee place, in a walkway tucked between two buildings, was “temporarily closed”. Dang. Now where should I get a nice cup and a cake? There are other coffee shops on that street but they didn’t please me. Go back downtown? Oh hey, there’s the CalTrain station right there, I could catch the next train, ride one stop, less than 2 miles, to the downtown station, and be right next to Verve. So I did that. 9800 steps, just under 4 miles for the day.
The rest of the day I fiddled around with music, and then somehow or other ended up reading our old Germany blog. (Which is still online.) In 2010 we did 6 weeks in Germany and blogged it in great detail. At some point I had converted it (and our other long travel blogs) to PDF and downloaded it. And some time recently I had clicked on the PDF. And now I started reading it. Which took about 2 hours to get through. Ah, the 2010s, when it was still an open question if your hotel would have working wi-fi. But it was a nice trip.
