Today we went to San Francisco and it was probably my
favorite city so far (not much of a city girl, I much prefer the national parks). I could have driven around and just looked at the
architecture all day. I was the one who did most of the driving in the city and
it was pretty crazy. There were a couple of times I wasn’t sure we were going
to make it to the top of the hills, or be able to stop at the signs at the
bottom.
First,
we got some brunch at an artsy local café. Walking the hills was killer, especially
after all the hiking yesterday. Then, we went to the Castro District. It was
kind of wild there, but the houses were beautiful. After that, we headed to
the Golden Gate Bridge park. We walked around and out onto this boardwalk that
went over the water. The view was stunning. I could see the bridge on one side,
the skyline of the city on another, and Alcatraz in the distance. The water was
mesmerizing, it rippled and waved slowly, big and rolling, not quite breaking.
The wind whipped strong. This weather is my favorite kind, chilly and
crisp, foggy. Sea weather.
We then
headed to Muir Woods, a redwood forest a little ways outside of the city. In
the Woods, I felt like a tiny fairy. The sunlight filtered, shadowy and green
golden through the trees, a quiet creek trickled through the woods, tinkling
pleasantly. It was the type of place I could have just sat in all day.
After that, we drove for a while and after much hotel searching, we are in Southern Oregon.
Titanic-ing because we can.
This seal popped up and begged for fish people were throwing back in the water.
There were a lot of these covering the beach. This one's ours.
Crosswalks in the Castro Distrit
Sounds like a real adventure!
