Sunday afternoon

After going to Thai Brunch in Berkeley, we stopped by Ian's. I haven't mentioned one of the special qualities of Ian's neighborhood, have I? Let's just say they're all into decorating in a big way. We heard that people drive from far away to see the street for Christmas. The house Ian bought actually came with a load of Christmas lights!

Well, they're pretty into Halloween too. And since Ian and the family just moved in, what better way to use all those boxes? When Dav, Ele, and I drove up, Ian and his neighbors were constructing a giant robot! Ian had wanted to put something in the yard and his super kind neighbors joined in to figure out what to do with their resources and the boxes. The result is the coolest most original Halloween decoration. It's giant as in 2 stories high, but kinda cute. Light bulbs are the robot's eyes. I'm sure he will be warmly welcomed by all the kids. I love it!

Later we drove to Orinda specifically to get a Hi-Tech Burrito. We sat up on the ridge eating our burittos on this beautiful day.
