(Friday, Sept. 15, 2006) Destination: The intersection of Haight and Ashbury, once the hub of 1960’s hippiedom, now home to hipster hangouts and chi-chi shopping. Note to my friend Matt: I finally made it to Haight/Ashbury! These pics are for you … [thumb:899:c:l=p] My route: Starting, as usual, in San Francisco‘s Financial Center, I walked […]

(Thursday, Sept. 14, 2006) Explore Embarcadero Day. Starting from the Montgomery BART station (Montgomery and Market Streets) in San Francisco‘s Financial Center, I walked through Yerba Buena Gardens, down 3rd, along the Embarcadero to Green, then up Telegraph Hill via the Filbert Steps to Coit Tower, down Greenwich to Grant, and over to Geary. I […]

(Wednesday, Sept. 13, 2006) My left foot still hurts after yesterday’s long trek (and the cumulative effects of previous 10-mile hikes). It’s threatening to have itself amputated, and it’s trying to convince the right foot to join it. In an attempt to placate the foot, I stayed close to home and didn’t walk much. And […]

(Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2006) First, a couple of bicycle and motorcycle shots for The Boyfriend: [thumb:841:c:l=p] Today I walked from downtown San Francisco, up and over Powell Street, down to Fisherman’s Wharf, cruised through Ghirardelli Square, along Marina, through Presidio and Crissy Field, across the Golden Gate Bridge, and back across the bridge; about 10 […]

(Monday, Sept. 11, 2006) For today’s adventure, I took the bus into Alameda and walked through R. W. Crown Memorial State Beach/Crab Cove; part of the San Francisco Bay Trail runs through here. I also walked along Alameda Beach. At Crab Cove, I saw a bunch of what turned out to be squirrels. I don’t […]

(Sunday, Sept. 10, 2006) After yesterday’s long walk, I decided to stick close to my temporary home in Berkeley, and not do too much walking. Today’s bike shot: [thumb:826:c:l=p] And today’s architecture: [thumb:827:c:l=p] Dining: Brunch at Cafe Gratitude. Dinner: An Amy’s Kitchen frozen (purchased at Andronico’s). Weather: Pleasantly warm and sunny. That’s all, folks.

(Saturday, Sept. 9, 2006) Another overcast, chilly day in Berkeley, with fog in San Francisco: [thumb:809:c:l=p] Today I zig-zagged over the hills from 1st and Mission in downtown San Francisco, over to the Marina area, with the Palace of Fine Arts as my final destination. [album:113,4:c] [thumb:818:c:l=p] Some general San Francisco shots: [thumb:820:c:l=p] And a […]

(Friday, Sept. 8, 2006) Drastic change in the weather today — cloudy, windy, and cold all day. Cold enough that my landlady called to explain how to turn on the heat in my room. A good day to stay indoors, edit photos, and try to catch up on my blogging … which I did for […]

(Thursday, Sept. 7, 2006) Today, I made another trip into San Francisco. Here are the requisite bike and proof pictures (quite a few bike pictures; click “View the album” to see them all): [cpg_album:102,3] [thumb:772:c:l=p] Once in San Francisco, I started from the Transbay Terminal (around 1st & Mission) as usual; I’ve been traveling across […]

(Wednesday, Sept. 6, 2006) Today’s bike and proof shots: [thumb:736:c:l=p] [thumb:737:c:l=p] Today I took another long walk through San Francisco, beginning around 1st and Mission. In addition to the Financial Center (makes sense, given my starting point and the general direction I decided on), I strolled through the Japantown, Cathedral Hill, and Tenderloin neighborhoods, ending […]
