Look what I saw today!

San Francisco CA - My walk to work

One of my goals this year is to get to 185 lbs. I lost quite a bit during the last half of the year last year and I want to keep going until I feel too thin. 185 might not be that weight but it's my goal for now. Another one of my goals is to walk to work once a week. The walk is normally about 2.5 miles and I can do it in about 35-40 minutes (depending on how often I stop to take pictures). Today I decided to take the long way (3.8 miles) so I left a little early and took some snap shots on my way.

This is Lombard St. It is about 3/4 of a mile from my apartment. I have never walked down it but I plan to soon.


This is the top of Hyde Street looking down at Hyde Street Pier. It's very steep.


Half way down Hyde Street you can see Ghirardelli Square down there.


Another view about half way down this time focusing on Hyde Street Pier. That's the Balclutha and you would be able to see Alcatraz but it's too foggy.



At the base of Hyde Street is The Buena Vista and the cable car turn around.


Now Ghirardelli Square from the front.



This is at the Aquatic Park just north of Hyde Street Pier.


Fort Mason is just past the Aquatic Park.


Looking back at The Aquatic Park while climbing up to Fort Mason.


The Event Center at Fort Mason


There is a nice grassy park in the Fort Mason Area



The park was pretty empty this early in the morning.


This is at the end of Fort Mason entering The Marina District.


You can see the dome of the Palace of Fine Arts from the front of our building (and my office).


This is a shot of my building. It's the one directly in front. My office is on the second floor. You can't see my window because it's behind those trees.


I'm pretty lucky to be doing what I am doing where I am doing it. Sometimes with all of the work and stress I forget how lucky I am so I have to take a walk to remind myself.
