Our trip started on a good note! We found ourselves on the same flight from Boston on our way to San Francisco.
Our first week was full of excitement! On our first day we met Renee Simpson the Dietitian at Cal Dining. Berkeley has four dining commons in which she introduced us to the majority of the staff members at each location. We continued the week working on pilot projects that will be implemented in Fall 2014. As of now, our projects consist of creating nutrition activities and topics for Cal Dining's Eat Well Mondays initiative, creating a ServSafe certified incentive program for Cal Dining kitchen staff, and planning and executing our special event that is going to be held in our last week! Revealing the theme in the upcoming weeks (suspense builder) .....
Friday was the most exciting, we visited the famous Napa Valley!!

On this trip we visited Napa State Hospital's Dietetics's facility and kitchen.
We learned about the hospital's history and their infamous patients.
We also toured The Culinary Institute of America in Napa.
Sneak peak inside the kitchen

Outside the Chocolate lab!
Had time to squeeze in a wine tasting!
Back in Berkeley, Renee took us to explore the local farmer's market. Everything there was organically grown!
Over the weekend one of our new friend's took us on a hike in the Berkeley Hills.
Had to take a picture on the histroric cable cars of San Francisco.
Great opening to our 8 -week internship! Its crazy how it has only been one week! Stay tuned for more pictures and updates!
Best,
Nkumeh and Stefani
