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…

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!

And there’s this…

A beautiful evening for a balmy sunset stroll in the South Bay, especially after all the treats at Aubrey’s engagement party!
