The final stop of the trip was
Berkeley, which included dinner at one of their famously great pizza parlors --
Cheeseboard Pizza, where you eat to live music -- and a quick tour of the city, which is rich architecturally. Two buildings made a strong impression on me. Seen above is the
Julia Morgan Center for the Arts, built originally as a church by Hearst Castle architect Julia Morgan, and later housing a Montessori school where Kate used to work. (image from

The other building is the
Berkeley Public Library. We were driving around and I was struck by its subtle, stately, art deco elegance and pale green tones. Apparently it was just recently renovated to its former glory. (image from
