Zio Fraedo's Vallejo and a Massage

Today's post is over the Fourth of July Weekend. After a quick jaunt to the gym this morning, I noticed the freeways were packed. There were several fender benders which influenced my decision to stay close to home, catch up on some chores, dine locally and get a massage at my favorite acupressure place in American Canyon.

I decided on trying Zio Fraedo's is located at 23 Harbor Way Vallejo, CA 94590. It's a pretty little restaurant that sits on the waterfront just kitty corner of Mare Island. The staff is friendly, courteous and efficient. For a busy weekend, it was a great alternative in contrast to the crowds in our sister cities Oakland & San Francisco. The Italian Menu is a little more on the high end.

I ordered the Tomato Basil Soup and a Penne Bolognese. The food is adequate. However, the comfortable atmosphere and the view of the marina makes up for the lack of gourmet.

Zio Fraedo's has a bar, and banquet area for events.

The service is fast, the wait staff is efficient.

After dinner, I got a well needed massage in American Canyon at E-Acupressure. We have long visited Eva the proprietor for many years. She is always nice and always professional. Her prices are amazing. My preference is the medium pressure, though the therapists will do hard if you ask.

Acupressure massage spots are abundant in our area. Usually, you can just walk in. Eva has built her reputation. Appointment is preferred. E-Acupressure is located at 100 American Canyon Road, American Canyon, CA. 94503 707-310-0798

Cull Canyon Trail Challenge 2018 -the dog's blog

This my husband and my second day trying the East Bay Regional Park District Trails Challenge. Today we tried the Cull Canyon Trail: Cull Canyon Regional Recreation Area Chabot to Garin Regional Trail/Cull Canyon Road/Heyer Road/Service Road/ Lake View Trail/Columbia Drive Length: 2.25-mile loop Elevation: 350 feet Location: Castro Valley GPS: 37.710479, -122.055430 We picked this trail because we could bring the dog with us, and it is described as shaded trails, shallow creek crossings, ridge-top breezes. Sounds good. We have a family Welsh Corgi who does not like the heat. He is always enthusiastic about a walk, but if the weather is too hot, he stops at every piece of shade possible. In addition to the trail, the park has a beautiful swimming spot and tables for picnickers. Today was Memorial Day, it was filled with visitors. This is the beginning of the trail. So far so good....

His eyes were like the Caribbean Sea.

Last night I was on my way to the parking lot. I had just finished a meeting at Morton’s steakhouse in the “City”. As normal, the homeless were scattered throughout the streets. Some walked up to me with their cups. The others were in wheelchairs, standing against a wall, hidden in a corner, or sitting on the sidewalk. Their existence is eminent. There used to be stronger laws for loitering. What do you do when the homeless have nowhere to go? They have only had cardboards and salvaged blankets. As I was passing some of the eateries, I was thinking how the owners overprice their food. A young man asked if I could help him get something to eat. My first instinct, was to say, “I’m sorry, I can’t.” I’ve given money many times, given my leftover food but of late, I donate to the professionals who know how to help the people. He simply said, “Ok, I understand.” I saw he ...
