Saturday's 10-mile route
The weather was much warmer than I was expecting. It had been foggy in the morning, so I dressed in a tank top, a long sleeved shirt, and a light jacket. The jacket and shirt came off within the first mile. No complaints. It was a beautiful day!

Today's route has always been one of my favorites. We walk through the Presidio, along Crissy Field, along the Marina, around Fort Mason, along Aquatic Park, through Fisherman's Wharf (while it's still early, and there are no tourists out yet!) along the Embarcadero, to the Ferry Building. It's a fairly flat route, and oh-so-picturesque. Really, just perfect since I don't get to see as much of San Francisco as I used to.

The Ferry Building was our half-way snack point. Many of us love to go to the Acme Bread Co. to grab a treat. Today's treat for me was splitting a cheese wheel with Linda. Mmmmm....

Today is Monica's Birthday! Happy Birthday, Monica! So glad to be able to spend part of the day with you! xo

The second half of our walk was equally beautiful as the first, only it was much more steep and challenging! We walked through the Financial District, through North Beach, and UP into Russian Hill. We had thought that Lombard Street had been closed to traffic today, but it turns out that it wasn't. It wasn't nearly as busy with cars as most days, but maybe that was only because it was still earlier in the day.

The traffic was pretty quiet on Lombard Street, so we did manage to walk on the street for a bit
