Another fantastic trip. It’s been nothing but art and loving energy. Seeing old friends, making new ones. The perfect level of spontinatiety. Oakland has so many delicious restaurants.

I’ve been staying with a friend. He’s at work. The house is empty. Sunlight is flooding. Getting ready to leave for the airport. Coffee, packing, cleaning. I have some time. I walk without hesitation to the empanada shop I found my first day here. It’s a tiny hole in the wall that closes at 3pm. These pockets are a perfect balance of flavor and spice. I like a good nose sweat while eating.

Anyone in Oakland needs to visit Anula’s cafe and get the homemade baked Sri Lankan Patties (Empanadas).
