Robb, Akuch & Alo met me at the baggage area.  Alo was in a bit of a daze from the drive when I arrived, but he quickly started talking about everything – yellow bus, Bart, big truck, etc. – just about everything he saw, and he repeated everything we said.  What he said most “Amma sit with you,”  because when I got in the back seat with him I said “Amma’s going to sit with you.”

We stopped in Oakland and had sushi for dinner.

Masu Saki – refillable!  It is poured into a wooden box.  For the first sip, you sprinkle a small amount of salt on the corner of the box, then take your mouth to the wooden box to drink.  After that you can pick the box up to drink.   

Akuch had ribs. 

Alo had (among other things) edimame, which he says succinctly.

“Hi Maya” 

“Hi Mommy”  

“Hi Daddy”  

Lake Merritt is right across the street from the sushi restaurant. Evidently this is the “good” part of Oakland.  Here’s a panorama.  Very pretty. 

Robb & Alo walking.  It was cold. 

There’s a cold front moving through the area, and it’s suppose to rain today, but according to the Weather Channel, only lightly from 9 until 2.    It’s 48 outside right now (6am).  Let’s see if my Southern California clothing will keep me warm enough!
