So much happening!

I've been doing really fun things lately, reinforcing my decision to stay put in Oakland.

I did end up selling my car to Carmax, an easy and stress-free process.  It took me two and a half hours to get home on public transportation, but it was well worth it!  I don't miss the car, as this decision is making me plan more and be more active.
In a field, waiting for the bus
I did a 65 mile bike ride with several friends up through wine country and along the Sonoma coast. It was beautiful!  I'm still trying to get the group picture, but these give you an idea of what we saw along the way.  We stayed in an AirBNB house right outside of town, which was so creepy but also really fun.  You can read about the ride here: http://www.levisgranfondo.com/














This Thursday I had the opportunity to go to see The Windsbach Boys Choir (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windsbacher_Knabenchor) at Grace Cathedral for a free concert.  The boys were so talented and had obviously worked incredibly hard to produce the beautiful music they were offering.  


After, I ate dim sum, went to the Trolley Car Museum (http://www.cablecarmuseum.org/), and then went to City Lights (http://www.citylights.com/), which is a famous indie book store.  Then I came home and took a walk around the lake and had dinner with a friend.  What a great day!
Now to get ready for my move in two weeks; so exciting!

This is Never, my hair stylist's dachshund (she said she would "Never" get another dog). She always gets final say with my haircuts.

Fingers crossed!

I'm at Carmax to hopefully sell my car today! My new apartment is two blocks from work and I'm looking forward to embracing life in the city 100%!
