About a week ago I traveled up to San Francisco and the first thing on my agenda was meeting up with Claire from Bicoastally! We've been sending emails back and forth and visiting each others' blogs for some time now and I adore her. If you haven't visited her blog yet, now is the time. Needless to say, I was super excited when she suggested we meet in Berkley for lunch.
We went to her fav local eatery/brewery called Jupiter located across the street from Cal. Claire had explained that the food was good, but it was even better than I had imagined. Yummy potato pizza (sounds weird but SO good) and delish beer. The atmosphere was unique and rustic - perfect for an outdoor meal. We sat outside among the beautiful trees and barrels of beer.
Even better than Jupiter, the conversation with Claire. She's such an amazing woman! This chick teaches high school students AND prisoners, plus she's contributing to a book that exposes prison injustices. Talk about an activist.
I was thrilled that upon meeting she was so easy to talk to. It honestly felt like we'd known each other for years. So glad we were able to meet up because I feel like I've made a great friend!
