Sam went to school; Julie went to work; Sean had several telephone conferences. So marilyn and I took off to do some sight seeing. First we went to the new Oakland cathedral, Christ the Light. It is a very dramatic structure that is in the form of a fish. This was interesting to me since the church across the street from my high school and college was St. Francis Xavier which is also in the shape of a fish. Since it was there when I started high school it must date from the late forties or early fifties.
We spent a little over an hour in the church and in the mausoleum below. We then decided to go over to the City and Maiden Lane where we spent a significant amount of time in Britex, a fabric store. We then hustled back to Pleasant Hill where we did some gardening in Sean and Julie's back yard.
It will be an early night since our Bayliner car shows up at 4:00 am to take us to SFO for our 6:00 am flight.
