Telegraph Hill

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…

Art Institute, Fay Park & Crooked Street

Pop the laundry in and in 32 minutes, you can take in some of SF’s loveliest (and most loved) spots on foot! How blessed are we to live at the Intersection of Russian Hill and North Beach?

There’s a legit Diego Rivera steps away from our door!

And 360 degrees of views to die for!

Quiet away from the Lombard throngs!

Labyrinth at Land’s End

Met my friend Hannah for lunch at Louie’s at Land’s End (I was good…Greek salad with Bay shrimp) and we decided to go for a walk afterwards. My friend Terri had mentioned visiting a labyrinth out that way, so I texted her for directions. It was a hike!

Mitchell’s

I walked to this SF ice cream icon along Guerrero from ICA today, but stayed true to not carrying money so I wouldn’t be tempted to buy! Returned along Dolores. More pretty houses and flowers and a good hill to climb on the backside of today’s 30 minute walk.

Panhandle

I love walking around the Panhandle: nice and flat, interesting people watching, Victorian houses, and beautiful trees, like cyprus:20140727-190533-68733317.jpg,
eucalyptus:

Great stretch of the legs before mass at St. Agnes.

Sinbad’s

Big walk down the Embarcadero to the Ferry building. Didn’t find anything to suit our fancy, so decided to try out an old school SF spot, Sinbad’s. Wacky service; great views, like this one from our table.

Presidio

Today’s jaunt: through a eucalyptus grove to Inspiration Point. I love the Presidio!

Parked at Julius Khan and took a quick walk while Thomas was at the doctor.
