Amber, I lived there for a year when my dad was on sabbatical. He taught at UCB, and we lived in this beatiful house in the Hills. It was one of the greatest years of my life.

Tilden Park... I used to love going walking there with my mother and my dog. We'd go all the time, even in the pouring down rain. The Cheese Board was one of my favourite shops (oh, the SMELL! Pure heaven). Telegraph Avenue. Strawberry Canyon Pool. The carousel - was that in Tilden, too? I can't remember. We also used to go to some great restaurants - I doubt they're still around. Reza's Pizza was one. Bott's ice cream (oh my God, it was good. I always had bittersweet chocolate). And there were a few Mexican and Chinese restaurants we went to, as well... but their names are escaping me...

*sigh*

Nice little town, ain't it? You're lucky you lived in the hills, it's fr**cking gorgeous up there.
