Linkin'

My friend Anna regularly waxes rhapsodic about daily life in San Francisco, and it certainly is an inspiring city to write about. I felt drained and exhausted all day at work, but when I got home and sprawled out on my bed, I realized I didn't want to let the clear skies and moderate temperature go to waste this evening. I had to go to the library anyway, so I decided I might as well turn my errand into a form of exercise. You can check out my meandering route here, courtesy of my friend P.'s fabulous Google Maps Pedometer. Cinnabuster, who has been one of my bestest friends for 20 years now, and that is awesome, wrote about it recently.

The run/walk/but mostly run offered incredible views of one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in the city, Presidio Heights. Then, from the top of Laurel Avenue in Laurel Heights, there were views of the Golden Gate Bridge - both towers - and the spectacular downtown skyline. I wanted to stand on the corner and spin around with my arms thrown out to the sides, to express my joy and gratitude that I am able to experience this city.
