Tom and I spent last week in beautiful San Francisco. He worked during the day and I got to explore. I love San Francisco's food (of course), unique stores, mix of people, vistas, architecture and even the weather.
My mode of getting around varied from cable cars, muni buses and plain old hoofin' it so I was able to people watch. I found myself feeling fondly towards so many: the career girl who held a leather grip so she wouldn't have to touch the muni rail; the homeless man who kept bumping into me when the bus turned; the tourists from Brooklyn who stopped the cable car so they could take pictures of Lombard Street; the P.E. class having races on the crowded sidewalk. Very good for my soul to relax and enjoy others going about their everyday lives. I get so engrossed with my own world. It's nice to remember we're all here bumping around together, hopefully doing the best we can.

It sounds like you both had a fabulous time! So glad you got the opportunity to go. One vacation that sticks out from when I was younger was a trip to San Francisco with my family. I have fond memories of visiting the Bay area and hope to visit again.
Wow Darla! What a fun adventure for you and Tom. I would love to tour San Francisco some time soon. I love people watching too. I'm glad you could get away. Your blog looks great. Keep up the good work!
Love the blog! Congrats!!! what does "Bounce the Moon" mean? XO Julie
You're making me crave San Francisco food now. My stomach's growling!
Yes, I totally understand what you mean about unity. I find the tubes here a very unifying place. We all pay the same fare, we all have had to stand, and we all, hopefully, "Mind the gap."
