So yesterday, I took a walk…I walked and walked. I haven’t walked anywhere in a very long time. Things seem so spread out back home and I’m always so short on time that I just don’t seem to take the time to walk. It has been beautiful in Davis…in the upper seventies, sunny, beautiful 
On my walk, I saw students leaving school (I had such a leisurely morning that I didn’t leave the house until students where getting out of school!), I saw beautiful big trees, I saw the U of C Davis campus and older students, I saw adult ducks and baby ducks, a squirrel, a couple of blue birds, and James–a grad student and tarot card reader. Then I walked down B Street, but think that it should be called Peace Street instead. I saw a house with a Peace Sign, a house with a war is not the answer sign, and two cars with Peace bumper stickers. I had a great day!
Amy brought me some stolen cherries when she returned from work…I felt so naughty eating stolen cherries! They were really wonderful. Amy’s co-worker said that he knew the people so they wouldn’t mind that he was taking cherries from their tree–even though there was a sign that said “Don’t pick the cherries!”
Last night, Amy and I and Amy’s friend, Gabrielle, went to Sacramento to eat at this very cool Buddhist Veg restaurant called Andy Nguyen Restaurant. The menu was just beautiful. We shared the Eight Fold Path Salad and Gabrielle had the Love of Life Soup, Amy had the Supreme Wisdom entre, and I had the Awakening of Faith entre. When the server delivered my dish and said Awakening of Faith, I felt like we were beginning to share a beautiful philisophical conversation in addition to a beautiful dish.
After that, we went to Kasbah Lounge and enjoyed wonderful music and belly dancers. Maybe if I had tassles, I could shake my hips!
Today, I slept in again! Wow, it’s so nice to not have to get up at 5:30! I could get used to this After a slow leisurely morning, we walked to the Farmer’s Market and the Co-op and bought some things to make a veg chili tonight. If it’s good, I’ll add the recipe later.
Here are some pics of my time in Davis/Sacramento:

Hope that you are having the most amazing day!

Hi Sweet Donna!
I’m so sorry I missed your call yesterday. I was in a long shoot for that documentary on child prodigies around the world and had my phone off. Sounds like you’ve started your amazing journey off in a beautiful way! Love the names of the dishes at that vegan restaurant in SF. We’ll have to plan a trip back out there one of these days. Who couldn’t use a little more ‘Supreme Wisdom’ in life, eh? I know you won’t have access to wireless for a while… but know I am thinking of you and supporting you on every step of the path. much love, mel
