#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream

“One soft humid early spring morning driving a winding road across Mount Tamalpais, the 2,500-foot mountain just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, a bend reveals a sudden vision of San Francisco in shades of blue, a city in a dream, and I was filled with a tremendous yearning to live in that place of blue hills and blue buildings, though I do live there, I had just left there after breakfast.”
― Rebecca Solnit, A Field Guide to Getting Lost

First thing, the Marina, and coffee at Philz and a walk around the gulls and the Bay and the view of the Golden Gate Bridge in the morning light. A different day, we stayed in the city, explored the Mission area, visited a historic and beautiful Basillica (Dolores) and Dim Sum for lunch outside on the street, and a movie with my friend’s friends, (Gucci). This morning, I walked up to the Lyon Street steps by myself, to run up them, which felt terrific, and the I dipped in for a bit into the Presidio where I sat in meditation under the eucalyptus trees. To bed now, the end of my trip nearing, an early flight and what a rich and rewarding and memorable trip it has been.
