How are you enjoying this weather? Today we were heading out to study. I live (in El Cerrito) about two blocks away from here. I decided to take my bike. Halfway through it started raining and I got drenched.
What brought you to El Cerrito? My girlfriend found a post-doc here at Lawrence Berkeley lab. I thought it would be a good change from Orange County.
What do you feel the difference is between the two places? The big difference is really good accessibility to public transportation. Here I take the bus.
What do you do for fun? I like to surf. I’ve gone to Ocean Beach. It’s a challenging place.
I’m sure the surfing is really different. It is, because the beaches there are really accessible and you feel safe. Here at Ocean Beach it’s almost like a wasteland, but it is good to have that wilderness feel to it. (But) I’m screwed if I get hurt here.
And it’s cold compared to Southern California isn’t it? Yeah, I’ve actually doubled up on my wet suit.
