Berkeley.

Today me and Josh took a trip across to Bay on BART to visit Berkeley. I can't believe I haven't been before! UC Berkeley is one of the most prestigious universities in the US, and it's especially well known for the student protests which were held here in the 60s.

The campus is huge - in fact, the whole town is based around it. Very different to the compact city campus I'm used to. 

We began by walking through the campus in the sunshine (the weather in the East Bay is ALWAYS nicer than it is in foggy SF) past the main Clock Tower, the Bancroft Library and the University Library. 

Afterwards, we had a reverse lunch, first wandering down Telegraph Ave and getting an ice cream sandwich from C.R.E.A.M (chocolate chip cookies and pistachio ice cream)...

...and then walking down Shattuck Ave and sharing a pizza and PBR at Sliver. 

Berkeley's definitely worth seeing if you're in the Bay Area - just a short ride from downtown SF and you're there!
