Writes of Passage

^{Park Blvd Manor}
4135 Park Boulevard
Oakland, CA

This is area is nice and serene little stretch of the road, has Park Blvd Manor which is a retirement home and assisted living facility, with clean hallways and community room are well kept. and many cute shops. The manor has five stores with a small backyard, shared by the ground floor apartments and a balcony looking over the Park Blvd. I took walks at Dimond Park and Sausal Creek. Next door to the west is a Presbyterian church. A few steps to the east is a few nail salons, market, and Japanese and Italian restaurants.

Love their windows, and high ceilings. Will return.

Passing by this corner restaurant (Park Blvd and Glenfield Ave) all the time whenever I come to visit. They have sidewalk dining on either side of streets.

I ordered two take out
– Spicy house fennel sausage pizza: great, will return for it!
– Orecchiette Lala Norma: ok, I feel it’s a little tasteless but my dad says: too salty. Must be the generation gap -:)

Both Delta flights to and from SFO (DAL487 and DAL300) are fully booked, left on time, and arrived bit early.

I paid $510, the most expensive cheap flight I’ve had. And funny enough, there isn’t any meal on the morning flight to SF. On the return red-eye flight, they no longer provide the thin blanket.

Tonopah is an unincorporated town in and the county seat of Nye County, Nevada,

Tracy is the 2nd most populated city in San Joaquin County, California ⇓

The round trip ticket on Delta is the most expensive cheap domestic fare I’ve paid so far: $510, and no breakfast on the morning flight to SF. On the red eye flight way back home, I smelt strong cigarette smell on one of the male attendants. And, oh, they no longer provide the thin blanket.

This time, I didn’t rent a car, instead of using Uber and Lyft. I never have bad experience on Uber ride but learned the first hand how terrible it’s with Lyft. The 10 mile hike is something new and I really enjoyed it.
