clam chowder while we wait

i'm in benicia, ca - and i'm lovin it!

its a really gray but beautiful day in the bay area. faith dropped me off at michele's house around noon. she made the drive so easy and relaxing, and it was great to get some quality time in with just she and i before i left.


michele and i walked down to a cute little restaurant after faith left. the menu listed suuuper expensive entrees, but only $5 for a huge bowl of the best clam chowder i've ever had. it was so good. the restaurant was on the second floor of a renovated historical house enclosed with glass windows. i loved watching the waves crash outside on the rocks while i enjoyed my hot meal.

it is so surreal to think in 48 hours i will be halfway around the world... but i have no fear of the unknown adventures i'll be embarking on, and i'm just itching to get on the plane now!
