As the winds down, I’ve realized that I have so many trips that I meant to share here earlier but somehow yet haven’t (probably because it was time to go on another trip). From my day job perspective, the work travel has definitely been a bit draining since it is so much more than I had been used to but it brought me to cool places to do cool things, and you can always find a friend or two in every city, so in that way, it’s been a great blessing.
The trip to California in November was a bit like that. Although it’s a bit far for just the couple of days that the trip ended up being, there is alwasy something about going to california that makes me think a little differently about things. Funny how some places are like that…
I stayed very close to Fisherman’s Wharft. Everyone always groans that it’s such a touristy area – it is…no getting around that. But when you’re up early because of the time change, it’s a beautiful place for a run or walk in the morning. The only people out are those that make the city work in the magical way that it does – fish are getting delivered, linens picked up, and lots of fellow runners that are taking in the morning lights along the water. And not just runners…swimmers too if you can believe it. And lots of them…
One of the greatest things about being around San Francisco is that the public space is always full of something interesting…an art display of some kind seems to always be around which makes even the little corners full or something to discover. And again, if you’re out early in the morning, you have these discoveries pretty much all to yourself.
