I lived in the East Bay Area during my high school years. No matter where you go all you see is God's handy work in the beauty that surrounds you. The sight of the morning fog rolling across the bay from the Pacific Ocean will leave you breathless. It is such a shame that the scum bags that live there insure that I will never see that beauty again. But I do miss it.
I visited as a youth with my parents. Beautiful city. But the population now makes it unbearable for one like myself who has no need to patronize them.
