Travel to Oakland California
October 10th, 2006Oakland, California will always be home for me. Even though I was born in San Francisco, I have lived in Oakland from the age of three onward. Less than ten miles from the city and all of it’s benefits, yet with the bay acting as a buffer from the funky weather from the Pacific, I’m convinced that the land Oakland, California rests upon is paradise on earth.
The perfect location of Oakland, California is definitely its greatest plus. Though it is of course an East Bay city, it is centered almost exactly in the middle of the greater Bay Area. Hopping over to San Francisco is a piece of cake; the bay bridge takes you there in 15 minutes (without traffic of course!), or you can hop on BART from several different Oakland based stations. Oakland, California is also right next to Berkeley, Walnut Creek, Hayward, and isn’t too far from San Jose or Marin.
