Telegraph

recently, i had a visit to berkely’s telegraph to drop off some books that I had
checked out from gtu for a paper for school.  it was about 11 and we
had yet to eat breakfast, so we decided to make a stop at crepes a-go-go
for some mid-morning brunch. it was a bit small and a little tight,
but the shop itself was very cute and you could see the crepes being made and
the little tables and chairs made it feel much like a little café.
we ordered and sat down at the table and i instantly fell in love with the place
upon reading the small note on the bottom of the receipt
  
so cute!
when the crepes came to our table, we were not disappointed.  everyone got
different fillings in their crepes so it was quite the treat getting to try all of them
yum!

 
spinach, tomato, mushrooms, chicken, and swiss

i really loved crepes and the little shop and plan on going again and try one
of their sweet choices. 
 
we went again this weekend to pick up a coat i had fallen in love with at
mars mercantile. every time we’ve gone to telegraph, we have
tired a new little restaurant and have yet to be disappointed.  this week
we tried a little pizza place – which i failed to get pictures of as i was starving.

 
We walked around a bit and got to check out some of the shops and thrift
stores we haven’t gotten to check out yet.  i never realized how affordable the
stores and restaurants are on telegraph ave! all of the clothing shops and
thrift stores were incredibly well priced and we got quite a few wonderful steals.

 
growing tired and having decided we walked off our delicious dinner, we
made a quick stop at our favorite ice cream shop, cream.
the cookies are always warm and the ice cream always delicious and it hit the
spot after an afternoon of exploring and shopping.

The Legend of Squaw Rock

beautiful squaw rock

whenever my family would go on a day trip to the city

or to santa rosa and a kid, we would pass squaw rock.  as far back as i can

remember, i have been told the legend of squaw rock and it has been

one of my favorite legends. during my recent trip to

mendocino, i was finally able to stop and get a lovely picture of

the rock and thought to share the story with you all here.

 

the legend tells of a beautiful indian princess who fell in love

with an indian warrior, a love forbidden by her father.  one day, the warrior was

tragically killed in battle, never to return to his princess.

when the princess heard word of his death, she ran away and threw herself

from a cliff so she could finally be with her beloved.
