Saturday's Route
The weather for Saturday morning's walk turned out to be surprisingly clear, warm and beautiful! The forecast was supposed to be like Friday, which was cooler, foggy and misty. To our surprise and delight, Saturday morning was just gorgeous, and a perfect day for walking.
Today's route featured lots and lots of STAIRS! The Mosaic Stairs on Moraga to be exact (plus some!). The Moraga Stairs consist of 163 beautifully tiled mosaic steps - the most beautiful stairs in SF, in my opinion. Dick joined our walk again today (GO, Dick!) and had never seen this stairway before. I was so happy to share it with him!
After we climbed the Mosaic Stairs, we continued Up, Up, UP to Grand View Park. The last time I came up here, the city was shrouded in fog. Today's view was crystal clear, and you know, on a clear day, you can see forever. ;)
On our way back through the Presidio, a few of us took a quick detour into the new Inn at the Presidio. It just opened in early April, and looks very beautiful.
Another fun and beautiful Saturday training walk. We were pretty tired afterwards, but it was well worth the effort!
