Walked to collect our car on Filmore, since we’d left it there after dining at Dino’s Friday night. Definitely passed a bunch of “walk of shame” types as I rushed to beat meter maids on the prowl starting at 9. Phone camera still down, so here are some oldies on the Jones Street steps, the toughest part of the walk!
Today’s walk signaled a release from the dissertation-writing prison I’d forced myself into all day. A beautiful day in the city of San Francisco. After catching up on errands, I strolled the Hyde Street pier to its end, past the beautiful ships and assorted sailing vessels and multi-lingual tourists. Beautiful views of both bridges at the end, accompanied by the smell of salty seas. My phone’s camera is on strike after 11,000+ photos, so I’ve pulled an oldie of James posing in front of the Balclutha.
A brisk 30-minute walk into the wind before mass.
I love the trees and shady paths of the Panhandle, of course.
But I also love the Victorian that line both sides of it!
Today’s goal was the highest point on the USF campus: the One-Stop office! The walk from Nonna’s house was quicker than expected, although I was definitely a sweathog by the time I reached the hilltop! All registered (thank you, Lone Mountain ladies, for taking care of the bill!) and visited Saint Madeleine Sophie before sitting under the palm trees for a cup of Alumni-sponsored coffee. A new semester commences!
Late post b/c I forgot to take a photo on Wednesday’s walk, a breezy jaunt on the sand at Crissy Field. Here’s James’ first visit on those same sands!
Walked past all the FD types on my 25-minute walk to BART today.
Been a negligent walker/blogger/weight loser the past couple days cuz I’ve been buried in dissertation work. After 8 hours in the North Beach library today, punctuated by two visits from Thomas, I made my 30-minute wsacape…as far as the loo at the Argonuat Hotel. Their blue tilework caught my eye, as well as the mermaids in the bathroom.
Finished off the Wharf today in my hour-long walk…getting closer to the desired daily 10,000 steps! Started at Taylor and went through Aquatic Park and out to the pier. The advantage of wearing flip flops is getting to get the toes in sand and sea (or Bay!)
Going to be a beautiful day!
Walked the opposite direction outta Sts. Peter and Paul today, straight down Powell. Strolled Pier 43 past the World War II liberty ships, through the Musee Mechanique and down Hyde Street Pier before turning around for home. A good hour’s walk.
Took off from Ss. Peter and Paul with no real destination in mind and basically zig-zagged the streets on our side of Telegraph Hill.
Climbed a staircase on Montgomery that I’d never noticed before…
