An Outrageous Race in Oakland

Pictures: Click here to view.

In the course of only 4 hours, Frank and I saw more of Oakland than either of had in the past five years! Frank and I have joined a new group "SF Couples" and our first event was called the "Outrageous Race." Basically, couples were grouped in to teams and let loose on the city of Oakland.

Team Jerry included myself, Frank and of course Jerry! We raced to Oakland's Fairyland, found preserved duck eggs, located the wolf statue in Jack London Square, meandered through a mausoleum, searched a cemetery and discovered Woodland Amphitheater (Ok, not like Columbus discovering America ... or maybe it was like Columbus discovering America!). We thought we were racing along ... but in the end, we were the last team to arrive back at the host house.

It was a good time and we're looking forward to future events.
