Very cool to drive through the clouds on this bridge. Through the breaks you could see the bay and its vastness. Keep in mind it is a toll bridge. Cost me $5 at the time to get into Oakland. #northwestbear

The best cafe in the area hands down. Little bit pricey for drinks but they have half off sales on baked goods AND tons of space for calm studying. They usually host open mic night/live music shows upstairs in the evenings too.
This morning I chose to study on their second floor balcony. This shop is really one of the best places for coffee and the atmosphere here is so relaxing. They have Mexican Mochas too!
Exhibits change frequently. Advice: start at the top and work your way down through the exhibits. Bonus: free admission on Wednesday nights! Photo: AGO Facebook
