Thanksgiving week is right around the corner and students and teachers are ready to spend time with their friends and families. Most are ready to eat turkey, sleep in and have a good week off. School will be closed from November 20-26.

On a weekend trip to Berkeley to visit some college friends at the UC campus, my friends and I stumbled upon a complete dessert gold mine; gelato to be exact. Two friends and I took BART all the way to the Downtown Berkeley stop, and met up with a friend who asked us what we wanted for dessert. It was around six in the evening, and we walked down Shattuck Avenue to a place called Gelato Milano.
