Summer in Berkeley

It´s been foggy during the last week in Berkeley. But this week again the sun is shining for everybody here. And that´s good, actually. People wearing short-trousers all over the city and it´s nice. The temperature is higger (not as in Madrid or Las Vegas). The other day we could read during our breakfast he temperature that was going on in the capital of Spain. And in Las Vegas too. Too hot, but in Berkeley we were almost freezing (i´m exagerating a little bit, yes). Today and yesterday, perfect. And is gonna be the same for the rest of the week so nex saturday we will have a sunny day for our visit to Golden Gate Park in SF. We are goin´ to rent a bike and probably we´ll go to Sausalito crossing the Golden Gate Bridge.

Yesterday i went to San Francisco for a new concert: Bettye Lavette, one of the greatest voice of soul music nowadays. A good gig. It was in the American Music Hall in SF in O´Farrel Street, in the downtown. Very different from the one in the Fox Theatre with Neil: you can even have dinner inside, not only drink and i was so close to the artist that i could almost touch her. She is an old lady, but her voice is still incredible. And her last album (with a lot of covers from good bands to) is a kind of hit in Europe. I enjoyed it, no doubt of that, baby. Before the concert i went to a pub to take a beer (Anchor beer my friends, it is not Volkdamm, but, in any case, is really good too and even as strong as the one i like the much in Bilbao. Here in Berkeley-SF i should say that indeed it is my cup of tea. I went to Chinatown too, to Union Square, where a . And how could i say this.... i get a bit tipsy in the end because i only had for dinner a tiny cookie in a Bakery near Chinatown. But it was cool, jajajajaja.

If you don´t know who is the soul singer i´m talkin´ about, here is mssss Bettye Lavette.

PD. You can see at the beginning of the show two famous musicians. Can anybody guess who they are? And the tune is very famous. Here is a quiz so try to answer the two questions, please. Thanks for everything.



And enjoy as much as possible.
